Employees with life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, and AIDS, often wish to continue their normal pursuits, including work, to the extent allowed by their condition. Fortune International Group supports these endeavors as long as employees are able to meet acceptable performance standards.
Medical information on individual employees is treated confidentially. To comply with HIPAA laws, employee medical information is kept in a locked cabinet separate from personnel files. Fortune International Group will take reasonable precautions to protect such information from inappropriate disclosure in compliance with federal, state and local laws. Managers and other employees have a responsibility to respect and maintain the confidentiality of employee medical information. Anyone inappropriately disclosing such information is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
