| Popis: | [...]mandatory medical testing of employees is “job relevant and consistent with business necessity,” and therefore does not violate the American with Disabilities Act (EEOC, 2020). [...]they continue that “employers should ensure that the tests are accurate and reliable” and recommend reviewing guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and other public authorities concerning the safety and accuracy of specific tests (EEOC, 2020). [...]the EEOC’s guidance has two pertinent factors to consider: (a) individuals with the virus pose a direct threat to the health of others and (b) employers should ensure that tests are accurate and reliable. [...]may pose a threat is not equivalent to posing a direct threat. [...]antibody tests seem not to meet the EEOC’s “direct threat to others” criteria, and any employer who uses an antibody test as a condition of employment or as an approach to bring employees back to the workplace is on shaky ground. |
