Medical Restrictions Policy

It is the responsibility of the employee to notify management and provide medical verification for any restrictions placed on the employee's normal job performance due to illness, physical or mental condition. The Company will work with the employee and their physician in accordance to regulations found in the ADA, FMLA, Workers’ Compensation and other applicable standards and regulations as provided by law or prudence.

Consistent with the ADA, all medical information obtained from an employee will be treated as a confidential medical record, maintained on separate forms and in files separate from the employee’s general personnel file, and stored in a location accessible only to authorized personnel. This information will be disclosed only as permitted by law, such as to supervisors or managers regarding necessary work restrictions or accommodations, to first aid or safety personnel when the condition might require emergency treatment, or to government officials investigating compliance with the ADA.

General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
