I have a personal care worker for a handicap individual that was caught drinking on the job months ago and was warned. Now he was found passed out while on duty and an open bottle of liquor found in his car. Please advise on risks of termination Thanks, AM

You find yourself in a difficult position if your employee suffers from alcohool dependancy. Terminating his employment is an option but if he challenges your decision and seeks legal advice you may have to defend yourself against allegations of discrimination and breach of the Ontario Human Rights Code. I encourage you to call me at 416-216-5906 to set up a consultation and discuss your options. Lumi Pungea
