Can you not hire someone because they smoke?
Smokers are not a “protected” class under the law. In contrast, discrimination in hiring based on race, sex, religion, is currently illegal. For employers who provide health insurance as a benefit, their employees who smoke incur higher health costs, which the employer must pay for.
Can an employer refuse to hire you because you smoke?
Can you get fired for smoking marijuana off-duty?
With a number of states legalizing medical and recreational marijuana in recent years, many employees wonder whether they are protected from being fired for smoking pot. In nearly all states, it’s clear that employers are free to fire employees for being under the influence of marijuana at work. But what about off-duty use?
Can my employer prohibit me from using marijuana at work?
No. Employers have the right to set rules for non-medical use of marijuana in the workplace in much the same way that employers currently set rules for use of alcohol. In particular, employers may prohibit the use of marijuana at work or during working hours and may also prohibit employees from attending work while impaired.
Can you be fired for having a medical marijuana card?
More than a dozen of these states—including Illinois, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Delaware—have employment protections for medical marijuana users. In these states, employees generally cannot be fired or otherwise discriminated against for being a registered medical marijuana cardholder or because they test positive for marijuana on a drug test.
Can I be fired after being tested for marijuana on drug test?
If you were fired after testing positive for marijuana on a drug test, you should consult with an employment lawyer. A lawyer can tell you if your employer violated the law by firing you or by drug testing you in the first place.
