I am disabled and on ODSP but I work part time. My employer wants me and my doctor to fill out a form that goes to a 3rd party company called Organizational Solutions Inc, called a Medical Narrative. I don't want to divulge my personal medical information to a 3rd party company, as it gives them accessto to all my medicalrecords. I also dont want to give my employer acces to my medical records if they ask for that. Can my employer force me to fill out the medical Narrative for the 3rd party company. Or for my employer? Can they fire me for not doing either of these things?
Thank you for your question.
Whether your employer can require you to fill out the medical form will depend on the nature of the questions being asked. An employer is entitled to certain information for the purpose of accommodation, but is typically not entitled to detailed information regarding diagnosis and symptoms. Depending on what kind of information they are asking, you do risk the employer terminating your employment if you do not cooperate.
