Can you be fired from your job while in drug rehabilitation?
Question by Jessie: Can you be fired from your job while in drug rehabilitation?
I’m wondering if and employer can terminate your employment if you go into rehab for narcotics. Nothing illegal they are prescribed but just need help getting off of them. Can employment be legally terminated or would this fall under the Rehabilitation or Disability Act?
We are from WV and it is my husband I’m talking about he had a back injury about 10 years ago and has been w/ his employer for 7 or 8 years. And yes it is prescribed medication that he is on and not any kind of street or illegal drugs.
