It depends on the situation whether he is using vicodin for a medical treatment or he is addict of it. Actually, it is the human psychology that the patient can move to any drug which can reduce the pain when all the other drugs fail to reduce it. Moreover,using the same drugs or medicine for a long time it reduces its effects. In my point of view employer can fire an employee only when he is addict to vicodin or consuming it without any purposes but if it is a part of his medical treatment whether priscribed by any doctor or not he/her should not be fired but should be given a leave with medical benefits.
