So a friend called me today who manages say, an autoparts delivery service. She had heard through the grapevine that one of the employees was sleeping one of the old vans out in the parking lot - DURING WORK HOURS.
She went outside, verified said story, and called HR.
She was told that the employee can only be written up, not FIRED. Her theory is that he was up all night, came to work so he wouldn't be in trouble for absenteeism (possibly took a xanax or something to counteract last evenings events) and decided to sleep in the truck.
The only thing you can do at this point because everything is hearsay is discuss the implications of him sleeping in the van, make sure it is listed as "what not to do on the job" and not bring up any rumors of possible drug use. WTF?
One more thing you can be sued for as it can be construed as "discrimination" a HIPPA violation and or 100 other resaons to get your ass sued.
