Have you had the flu or been out sick and thinking of going back to work?

If you have at least 90 percent of your energy back and your overall symptoms have decreased by 75 percent, you are probably safe to return to work.

The opposite is also true: if you can barely drag yourself out of bed and you have a nasty cough or other symptoms, you probably should remain home until you feel better.

Employers should be familiar with HIPAA laws regarding disclosure of employee’s medical status.
