Chapter 10
Drink and drugs
[ch 10: page 292]A dismissal related to drink or drugs can be fair. As always, the employer must have a clear policy and communicate clearly to employees that breach of the policy can result in dismissal. Before any dismissal, the employer should have spelled out the relevant rule, and should conduct a proper investigation. Large employers are normally expected to consult the employee on any dependency problem and to provide support. As always, everything depends on context.
