I have Type I diabetes. I work full time as an assitant manager in a retail store in the mall. Recently my boss asked for a medical certificate stating that I am diabetic. They want to keep it in my personnel file. Is this legal? I had never even heard of this certificate until they asked me for one. I feel like it does not need to be in my personnel folder because my health does not affect my work performance.
