Does an Employer have the right to discriminate rules between employees some can smoke some cant?
Not enough is known about the work situation in order to comment. Are there safety or sanitation or cleaniness issues that enter into the scenario? Do some work in different areas that must be klept smokefree? If the discrimination is done strictly on the basis of favoritism it's probably not "fair," but I don't believe that any law (that I am aware of) protects against deiscrimination based on people's smokiing habits.

(Note: If you are employed in a "right-to-work" state, your employer can make any change in your employment he wishes, up to and including discharging you.).

Should employees be monitored?
No, they should not be monitored because it is proven by experts in the business enterprise textbook that letting employers make decisions on their own motivates them to work harder.Another AnswerMonitoring is a fact of life. You agree to it when you sign your employment application and/or you agree to it everytime you use the employer's computer system. Calls are potentially monitored. Everything is monitored.The employer has a vested interest in monitoring, particularly when employees have a great deal of power, such as when they hold high places in Information Technology or Management. The employer can not afford to risk a bad employee.You are already subject to random drug testing/monitoring. There is no difference between that and random phone call or computer monitoring. After all, this is the employer's property, and they have the right to monitor.Besides, why should you be concerned. If you are monitored, and you are honest and ethical, what is the problem? If you are not honest or ethical, then certainly you have reason for concern, but to be candid, I would not want you as an employee either.I happen to have nearly 40 years working in the IT business, and I know that monitoring is there, and it happens. That actually makes me feel better, because I know that the company is watching out and, at a certain level, the monitoring will prove me out when the brown smelly stuff hits the fan. In my industry, the more you know, the larger a risk you present, and, in my humble opinion, monitoring is appropriate and justified.Its no different than the monitoring you might experience if you fly on a commercial airline. The TSA is going to monitor you, they are going to profile you, and they are going to do whatever it takes to make your flight safe. Personally, I would rather have that, then worry about some terrorist taking down my flight and killing us all.

Can an employer force you to take their health plan and say it's because of the Affordable Healthcare law?
No, an employer cannot force you to be covered by their health plan. They might be telling you that you are "auto-enrolled", which is required by the Affordable Care Act. However, you have the right to refuse coverage. You may have to sign a form for the health insurer, so that the employer does not get "dinged" by the insurer for having employees uninsured. The employer's contract with the insurer generally requires them to enroll all employees (if employees do not pay part of the cost), or some percentage of employees (if employees do pay part of the cost). Your dropping out skews their numbers.

The employer can state the work assignment, and then each employee is free to choose among three options in response: 1). Comply, 2). Negotiate, 3). Walk.
