Understanding guidelines on temperature readings for employers and building owners:
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
After the disease was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission revised its guidance on what is permissible under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The guidance allowed employers to screen for the infection to help protect their workers, including using temperature screens and tests with privacy protections and security requirements of data captured.
Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) requires employers to maintain the confidentiality of all information obtained through disability-related inquiries and medical examinations. Temperature screening is a medical examination under the ADA. Accordingly, any information collected as part of the screening process must be treated as a confidential medical record and maintained separately from the employee’s personnel file. It may be disclosed only in limited circumstances.
