Loose Lips Sink Ships: Confidentiality and Privacy Ethics in Employment Practices Liability Claims - ETHICS

Presented by: Melisa C. Zwilling, Shareholder, Carr Allison

Course Description: EPL claims are a minefield of confidential information-from intimate details of harassment allegations to protected medical records to sensitive personnel files.  One careless disclosure can expose you and your organization to liability, regulatory sanctions, and reputational damage.  This program will give you a clear understanding of your confidentiality and privacy obligations, teach you how to handle sensitive information ethically and legally, and help you avoid the mistakes that lead to privacy breaches and their consequences.  Whether you are dealing with medical records in a disability claim, personnel files in a discrimination case, or witness statements in a harassment investigation, you will learn the rules that govern what you can collect, who you can share it with, and how you must protect it.
