Generally, employers do not have the right to access your medical records without your consent, regardless of whether they have a doctor on staff. Medical records are protected by laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the U.S., which ensures your privacy. Employers can only obtain medical information if you provide explicit permission, typically for purposes related to workplace accommodations or benefits. Always check your local laws and company policies for specific guidelines.
