RallyforRecovery ADDICTIONS LAW UPDATE # 2
 
ALCOHOLICS AND ADDICTS ARE ENTITLED TO PROTECTION FROM EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION. 
 
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) prohibits discrimination against any person who is or has been at any time disabled unless the nature and the extent of the disability reasonably precludes the performance of the particular employment. Under the LAD, alcoholism is a protected disability (Clowes v. Terminix) and drug addiction is also a disability (Matter of Cahill). The court in Cahill found that he was a chemically dependent substance abuser who was cross-addicted and entitled to the protection of the LAD. The court supported the position that where feasible, an employer should afford an opportunity for rehabilitation to an employee disabled by substance abuse.
 
Under federal law, drug addiction that substantially limits one or more major life activities is a recognized disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA protects qualified individuals who (1) have successfully completed a supervised drug rehabilitation program and are no longer using illegal drugs; (2) are participating in a supervised drug rehabilitation program and are no longer using illegal drugs; and (3) are erroneously regarded as using drugs when they are not. 
 
The ADA protects alcoholics as it does any other disability. Sobriety is not a requirement to gain the protection. Of course, if alcohol use causes work performance problems then it can be taken into account.
 
Drug test fraud
 
In New Jersey, a person commits an crime if he offers for sale or manufactures, or gives to any person, any device or substance designed to defraud the administration of a drug test in employment or in the criminal justice system. Any person who knowingly defrauds the administration of a drug test that is administered as a condition of monitoring a person on bail, in custody, or on parole, probation, or pretrial intervention, or any other form of supervision administered in connection with a criminal offense or juvenile delinquency matter, is guilty of a crime. Any person who knowingly defrauds the administration of a drug test which is administered as a condition of any employment or continued employment is guilty of a crime.
