Advice needed

What everyone else said x10. Get rid of her asap. Most companies will send you packing even if you drink during orientation, when you aren't even a hired driver yet.

One thing I ask. Do you have your policies written down? If you don't, I'd suggest you do that, and then, when you hire someone, make them sign a copy stating they read and understand the policies and rules you set forth. It would most likely help with any legal issues that could arise down the road if/when you do have to terminate someone.

 

This is absolutely correct. At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning.

 

Just one more thing. As you have now posted, in a public forum, on the internet, in plain view of any law enforcement officer who happens to be reading this (and that assumes a LEO who is smart enough to read) you have now become both criminally and civilly libel for the actions of that employee. If she runs over Tracy Morgan when he gets out of the hospital YOU are going to prison. Your insurance company finds out that you had prior knowledge of her drinking and they do not have to cover her damages. You are engaging in what could be considered an on going criminal conspiracy which makes it a RICO act by knowingly allowing her to drink and drive a commercial vehicle.

The only way you should even consider letting her remain with your company for even one second longer is if she has big boobs.

 

LOL! That could also be an excuse as to why she couldn't/didn't read the regs.

To OP: Seriously man, this is a no-brainer. Get rid of her before she ruins your life.

 

I hope you send her packing because she will get you in a world of trouble. Don't worry about her....cover your own butt.

 

Have her randomly tested a few times a week until she's caught then terminate her for violating your companies drug/alcohol policy
