HIPAA Law & COVID19 : WHERE IS THE BALANCE
I'm writing this post because I have been asked by several small businesses what to do to stay compliant with the HIPAA law and still notify employees.
As employers we have to abide by the HIPAA laws of our land. As employers we have a duty and obligation to keep our employees safe, healthy and informed of health risk.
But where is the balance?
If a member of your staff has received a positive COVID test an employer should and must feel an obligation to trace the exposure, contact those directly exposed individually, then follow protocol to keep everyone safe and healthy. Beyond the individual exposure disclosure a general email or memo should be sent to ALL employees letting them know there has been a reported case and if they were directly exposed they will be notified in person.
REMEMBER TO PROTECT THE INFECTED EMPLOYEE BY NOT RELEASING THEIR NAME TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR IN ANY RELATED CORRESPONDENCE.
If you have questions or would like further protocol procedures please contact me via my LinkedIn profile.

Good Monday morning everyone!!
So I was recently ask - So what's up with these new W-4's? Well 1st off for the employers out there. You need to have any new hires fill out the new form. IF an existing employee wants to fill one out, great let them. But it is not mandatory for employees hired prior to 2020. For you employees out there it's a good idea to do a paycheck check up at least every other year or if you have life changing circumstances such as weddings, funerals, births, etc. So, WHY??? you ask..here's what the IRS says ...2. Why redesign Form W-4?

The new design reduces the form's complexity and increases the transparency and accuracy of the withholding system. While it uses the same underlying information as the old design, it replaces complicated worksheets with more straightforward questions that make accurate withholding easier for employees. So there you have it. I hope this helped someone out there. Have a great week and God's blessings.
