NHCC POLICY
Random Testing of Employees for COVID-19
“NHCC will conduct random COVID-19 testing of employees. Early detection of an asymptomatic individual would be invaluable, and NHCC is committed to taking every reasonable measure to protect our patients and staff from illness.”
In observation of the HCA recommendation to follow CDC Guidelines, and consistent with the standards of the EEOC and ADA, random testing is considered “job related and consistent with business necessity.” With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been deemed appropriate that employers may take steps to determine if employees in the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of patients and staff.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your Supervisor, Administrator, Compliance Officer or Chief Executive Officer.
