  • In most cases no, it is not proper to pass on a family members medical issues to another family member. If the problem is serious it is up to you to tell the person that told you that they should let certain family members know, but, if they refuse then keep their information private. The doctor of any patient cannot discuss any medical information with anyone in the family; not even the spouse because it comes under the privacy act.

Are jobs obligated to give you time off when it comes to college and family and medical issues?

There are some allowances that are required (see Family Leave Law), and most businesses give a few days for funerals of immediate family members. Medical issues are handled using your available sick time and/or short term disability. However, none of these will cover frequent absenses for college or other family issues (ie sick children), since your employer has hired you for a particular job that needs to be done, and if you are absent, it will not get done. Even the most forgiving and accomodating employer will need to have you present and working most of the time.
