Do you know if a person going through a drug rehab program qualifies for FMLA? In other words is it a FMLA qualifying medical condition? I thought it did fall under the ADA? I think you need drugs

Thanks

The ADA does not include current illegal drug users in its definition of an individual with a qualified disability. I hope that this helps you. It is also my understanding that FMLA covers serious illness's and pregnancy. I woul call your local DOL or the US DOL.

Substance abuse treatments are covered under FMLA; absences resulting from actual substance abuse are not.

ADA covers individuals who are not currently using drugs and who are going through a rehab program. It also covers those who are perceived to be in recovery provided that there is no continued substance abuse.

Alcoholism and drug addiction are protected âSerious Health Conditionsâ under the Family and Medical Leave Act (âFMLAâ). Employers often question their legal obligation to excuse or to accommodate the effects of substance abuse on the employeeâs attendance or work performance. A new decision from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Darst v. Interstate Brands Corp., explains the differences between protected and unprotected absences relating to substance abuse.

How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?

Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
