If I remember from my graduate HR Legal classes, If that happens, and the business has created an environment where your legal choice to participate or not then creates a hostile environment against you, that could possibly be argued as "Disparate Treatment" under the law. Also possibly fall within the bounds of Disparate Impact". NOW ... that being said, disparate impact laws have 'protected classes' as the center of gravity for those types of claims. I'm sure a rock star lawyer could probably pull the tread far enough to get there.
HIPPA only applies to healthcare providers. Being strong armed into providing personal information like that is absolutely asinine in my opinion but there are no legal protections there.
sorry fren, you are wrong. I taught HIPPA law as a part of my position in a corporation working in human resources. It is illegal for any business or entity to reveal any health information to others. By making it a part of work segregation they violate the law. By having any identifying badges or other overt signs you are vaccinated is a violation of law.
right you are fren, seen so many wrong acronyms I just repeated it. HIPAA stands for Health information Portability and Accountability Act
Thanks for the reminder and correction
What about in the case where people are voluntarily sharing their info in exchange for $$? My employer is paying $100 for peeps to get the jab. You just have to provide your vax info. Is that how they get around it? I don’t claim the $100 so they assume (correctly) that I didn’t get the jab.
How is the fuck is this not an OVERT HIPPA violation.
Seems like one to me, but I am just a humble pede who has not dug deep into HIPPA stuff yet.
I've been working in Healthcare for 20 years. Absolutely a HIPPA violation!!
Because there’s still the option to wear a mask.
Or don’t and let them try to strike a vax card play.
By wearing the mask, you are wearing that medical information on your face, aren't you?
And you volunteer to be harassed by your coworkers as a "demented anti-vaxxer that is killing us all."

Thank you. I hate auto correct some times.

Could be considered.them paying/bribing people to get the shot.

Their legal department HAS to know this...
So the question is, for what reason was Amazon strong armed into doing something like this? Impunity or a controlled demolition?
