Labor Law:
Tailor Your HIPAA Policies To NLRA Compliance
Published on Fri Jan 29, 2016
As shown by a recent Administrative Law Judge decision, health care providers need to make sure their employee policies comply with HIPAA and the National Labor Relations Act.
Remember: Under the NLRA, individuals have a right to:
-
Form, join, or assist a union;
-
Choose representatives to bargain with the National Labor Relations Board on an individual’s behalf;
-
Act together with other employees for an individual’s benefit and protection; and
-
Choose not to engage in any of these protected activities.
