FAQ
Addiction is considered to be a disability and, as such, an employee cannot be fired for being addicted to substances such as drugs or alcohol. In fact, employers are required to accommodate employees who suffer from addiction to the point of undue hardship.
While it is unlawful for an employer to fire an employee solely because he is an alcoholic, a company may fire a person for unacceptable behavior, such as a safety lapse, violation of company rules or repeated absence, even if the behavior is caused by alcoholism.
Wrongful termination is when an employee is fired illegally. This occurs when an employee is terminated because of discriminatory practices in the workplace, when a company violates public policy in the process of terminating the employee, or when a company's own guidelines for termination were not followed.
For example, if your Alaska employer fires you for discriminatory reasons, in violation of an employment contract, or in retaliation for exercising your legal rights, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
' " Current illegal drug use is not protected, but recovering addicts are protected under the ADA.
In Alaska, an employer does not need to give a reason to fire an employee. Therefore, he/she has not violated any wage and hour law. You may wish to check with an attorney to see whether you can file a civil lawsuit against your employer for wrongful discharge.
For most privately-owned companies, previous employers may not disclose the results of a drug test on a background check. For most workers in the United States, their employer will never disclose a failed drug test. However, many government positions require this information and are permitted to seek it.
Are Substance Use Disorders Considered Disabilities? In short, yes. Diagnosable drug and alcohol addictions, or substance use disorders (SUDs), are considered disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act.
You may need to enlist the guidance of a professional to help you with this. In the US, your employer can discipline or fire you if your alcohol or drug use impairs your ability to do your job. However, employers cannot discipline or fire you simply because you tell them you have a substance problem.
