Can you legally be written up at work while off the clock?
You may want to check your employee hand book, or talk to a representative in your human resourse department. But generally if the company has a smoking band in effect for the building and its property, you can be written up for smoking if your cigarette is not put out prior to stepping on company property. It does not matter if you are on the clock or not, but simpily you are an employee of that company and you are responsible for not only knowing, but also understanding policies and procedures as well as their code of ethics on and off the job. In your question you mentioned that the employee was reentering the property to talk to a supervisor. In that employees defence, the supervisor should have mentioned that there is no smoking on company property and asked that person to put out their cigarette. If this did not happen then the supervisor can not write up an employee with out writting themself up for not giving atleast a warning first. Again this follows company procedures, under the title of disciplinary actions. Good luck fighting this. Hope I helped.
Can a supervisor write you up while you are off the clock out of uniform?
A coworker of mine was recently written up while she was off the clock and in plain clothes. We both work in a Sam's club as a third party merchandise promoter, which entails wearing a company provided uniform and being on the clock. She had worked a shift earlier that day and was off the clock, had changed clothes and was purchasing products for personal use. As she is a paying member of the club that had a membership before she was employed there our employer tried to threatening to have her Sam's membership revoked on top of it all. Can an employees job be taken for conduct done outside of the work hours and not in uniform, when it not illegal? The action she was written up for was profanity. Which is something they all do but she was singled out for it. This occurred in the state of Mississippi. Any ideas?
What happens if you dont inhale marijuana and how bad is it for you.?
I've been smoking for a while.. Let me try to answer your questions 1. If you don't inhale, nothing happens. - some people report a placebo affect by being in the same room as smokers 2. I smoked the first when i was 18, it's as good a time as any, but once you start it's hard to stop. - this is because you get involved in the culture; you make smoker friends, and when they want to smoke you will usually find yourself going along with it. - it is mentally addicting if you set certain regulations (misguided ones) such as: "I must smoke before I eat so food tastes better," or, "a bowl will help me sleep." Some advice: Don't expect to be able to smoke and write, it clouds language centers. If you are not careful and intelligent, it absolutely acts as a gateway drug. Still the happiness is great, and the super creativity powers are nice if you are artistic. If I were you, I would resolve to limit its use, but marijuana certainty doesn't fall into the apocalyptic meta-narrative like it is portrayed by our government. --No Rane
If you found out that your best employee smoked marijuana on his or her free time, would you fire that employee? Let’s say that you lived in a country where marijuana is illegal. Also, it would dramatically impact the company to lose such a person.
“If you found out that your best employee smoked marijuana on his or her free time, would you fire that employee?” [Let’s say that you lived in a country where marijuana is illegal and discovered that your top performing employee had that drug in his or her system. Also, it would dramatically impact the company to lose such a person. Would you say that the best decision is to fire that person? Why or why not?]My Problem.As an employer, you cannot allow illegal activities on your work floor, so I’d fire any employee engaging in illegal activities. Alcohol and drug use at work cannot be tolerated, and not just because someone’s performance might be linked negatively to the alcohol or drug, but also because an employer is bound to make sure that employees comply to the rules covered by the company insurance. Many insurance companies refuse claims when the employee had caused damage or injury while under the influence.Which is something you have no knowledge about, because whatever an employee does in his free time is their business. You attend everyone on being alcohol and drug free on the work floor, so that if an employee turns out to be under the influence, that’s on their head.And here’s my problem. I live in The Netherlands, where cannabis use is not illegal and I have a prescription from my ophthalmologist to use pharmaceutical cannabis as medication for my therapy resistant glaucoma. I’ve been denied further disability benefits because the government decided that I can still work. Except that I can’t, beccause I cannot hid my cannabis use from my employer. And even if my particular use does not affect my judgment, I’d be uninsured as an employee ‘under the influence of a narcotic drug’. So I can only imagine how they’d respond to a claim where the employee was under the influence of an illegal drug.
