Hi, my name is Lisa. I am looking for some direction on discrimination and harassment, defamation of character. My last employer is showing my employee file to other people and I also have a doctors letter in it. Is this a HIPPA violation. I have record of all the harassment when I was employed there. I am having the person that saw my file write a letter stating the facts. Where do I start with this lawsuit? Also it is a non-profit 501 c3. Please help me get some kind of direction I start!! Thank you for you help in this matter, looking forward to hearing back from you !!! I am a Recovery Coach and director of my office. The director of the non-profit I used to work for is telling her clients and my old clients that I slept with clients in Lew of services. And showing my personel file to others plus my doctors letter.
Employment law, even in a “right to work” state like Idaho states that an employer can create a “hostile work environment” by many different ways, including this one. Idaho also has a statute that holds employers liable for violating your right to privacy by disclosing confidential records about you! HIPAA also has a right of action! This employer is going to regret this!
