Employers should be greatly concerned about how employees perform their jobs and what happens in the workplace, but how employees want to lead their private lives is their own business," said Boston lawyer Harvey A. Schwartz, who represents Scott Rodrigues in his lawsuit against Scotts, which is based in Marysville, Ohio.
The company announced this policy over a year ago. They gave smokers until Oct 1 of this year to quit. The company offered to pay for any program an employee chose to stop smoking.
I don't smoke and I don't agree with the policy but it is a private company, not government, and they should be able to hire and fire anyone they want to within reason.
This has nothing to do with the State, it's a private employers policy.
Nope. I live 20 miles from Scott's world HQ in Ohio. It started in Ohio. We heard about it here over a year ago.
