Do you know what HIPAA stands for? Do you know what HIPAA protects?
As a Supervisor if you become aware that your employee needs time away from work due to a medical condition for themselves or their family members, the employee does not have to disclose what that medical condition is to you. You should refer them to Kayleigh Misner, in Human Resources, for proper handling of Family Medical Leave Act, Short Term Disability, and/or Paid Family Leave.
If the employee shares that they are needing time off for surgery to you, as their Supervisor, under the HIPAA laws you have no right to share that with anyone else, besides Human Resources. That is a breach of HIPAA confidentiality and can be punishable by law. If it is in email form, you should not forward the email on to anyone else, including your boss, only Human Resources should receive this email.
You cannot discuss with your other employees that the employee will be off for surgery, unless the employee explicitly tells you that you may discuss it with the team. Of course, if the employee wishes to discuss his/her own medical information with others, that is not an employer violation.
