HIPAA & Vacation Sell

[Guest sidalee1]

With HIPAA, is it okay to let the HR people know how many weeks' vacation an employee sold to purchase benefits under a health plan? I can't imagine that it isn't as the HR staff need to know how many weeks a person has left to take, but wanted to double check...thanks,

Employment information is not PHI, and employers aren't covered entities. I don't see how HIPAA has anything to do with this.
