Sask. health region employee who ‘snooped’ on 900+ records won’t get job back

Micki Cowan reports:

A Saskatchewan X-ray technologist won’t be getting her job back after she was fired for “snooping” on hundreds of patient records without due cause, a breach of the Health Information Protection Act.

A recently released labour arbitration decision shows that the employee — who claimed she was looking at the records for “educational purposes” — has been denied a union grievance request to have her job back and to receive compensation for her lost wages and benefits.
