Workplace Discrimination. My Employer Made Me Leave a Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Early to Get Back to Work?
Question by ricker4087: Workplace discrimination. My employer made me leave a inpatient drug and alcohol early to get back to work?
My workplace denied me an inpatient aftercare drug and alcohol treatment program and now i might lose my job because i failed another drug test. All they had to do is give me a 1st shift position for 90 days and then i could go to work everyday. they told me no and made me leave my inpatient program before i was completly rehabilitated. I think that is pretty discriminating because i have a disease and they wouldnt work with me and basically said your life isnt important to us we need you to work on second shift now. Now they’re threatening my job because i didnt quit everything on my own. What if i had cancer and they said i dont need to go to chemotherapy i just need to get back to work because your job is more important than your life… Does anyone know if i have a lawsuit against them because my life is messed up forever now. Tomorrow morning they are deciding to either fire me or not. I want to better my life but my employer wont allow me to and now they want to fire me. HELP ME!

This is not the place to get help. You need a real lawyer and you need that lawyer YESTERDAY. Don’t pi$ $ around here hoping for advice. Too many state laws can come into play and you don’t mention which state you live in. Go see a lawyer now. That person can advise you as to what you can and cannot do.

try asking a lawyer
Nothing you have described is discriminatory behavior.
Cancer and drug use are vastly different, mainly in that having cancer is not a voluntary activity, but drug use is.
If our contract guarantees time off for drug rehab, then you have a breach of contract case. Otherwise, you don’t have much of anything.
there are so many things i want to say to you, but i won’t.
they are not discriminating, in fact they could of fired you long ago, but didn’t.
you don’t have a case against them, get over it.
get clean, get another job, start over.
good luck.
