Sending him down the road can just cause even more problems for him if he's not earning for his kids and his addiction

 

 

Could have a nice chat with him in the car park then... suggest that he suddenly has another contract to work on and that he should ask to be released from this one - that way you don't need to termnate it. If others phone to ask about him you can honestly say he gave notice and left. If you terminate the contract then you have to say so I think? Suggest perhaps he ends the contract by the time you get back to site.....

 

 

if you like the guy then perhaps leave the oor open to take him on again... but... he'd have to show that he is clean before you do so. Perhaps have that added to all contracts - staff and contractors - that you are able to randomly drug test, before or during employment

I wouldn't start drug testing, you'll have no employees left. 

 

As its a subby, say the reason but ultimately you don't have any more work available for him. Simple as that. 

 

I don't think anyone is naive enough on here to not know that say 50% of tree surgeons take some kind of drugs... but actively doing it on site, which I'm sure he was/going to (why else would you keep it on your person and not bag/in the van) is a big ol no no. 

 

Perks of not employing I guess... or is it? 🤔
