Employers are required to keep a record of the tests performed for the following 90 days for auditing purposes, including: the date of testing, the names of the individuals who took the test on that date, including their date of birth, insurance number, and the name of the health insurance company.
Options for further employee testing
Even after the end of mandatory workplace testing, employers can continue testing based on risk assessments and their own health and safety measures.
