Can your employer fire you due to health problems?

Answer 1

If it is a communicable disease problem, yes. but it is also the employer's responsibility to have a potential employee screened for health problems that may affect co-workers. There have been legal fights over this and , for the most part, the plaintiff employees have lost. If the employee has a health problem he or she is obligated to report that there is a problem, but not the name of the disease or even some symptoms. This is all part of our nation's health and safety regulations. No one has the right to spread a disease.
