I do not know any tree workers in florida so this is reason for post.No somking because I cannot stand the stinkin smell and customer think somkers are unprofessional...dont you think it is bad buisness to spark up in the customers property?

 

Its illegal to smoke in a work vehicle here so you would expect that anyway

[Mick Stockbridge]

I don’t like smoking either, but it wouldn’t make me think a contractor was unprofessional. I recon many smokers cant see further than their addiction and wouldn’t think it unprofessional either.

 

I wouldn’t like it in my home but people smoking in the garden doesn’t bother me.

 

Drug policies notwithstanding, how do you stand legally telling employees what they can or can’t do outside their hours of employment? UK or US

Back in the day I would have been the take it man but these days I am too old and married.

 

It might not be a case of take it or leave it though. Can you legally stipulate what your employees can and can’t do in their own time?

 

America is the “home of the brave and the land of the FREE”, and positive discrimination, not forgetting the no win no fee lawyer so I was wondering if you can make that condition stick.

and when did he try and stipulate what employees do in their own time exactly?

having people who smoke in the truck is a pain if you dont smoke.

 

In the open like a garden or park or woods does really matter does it ???

 

Its a bit like in the movies you always see the badys smoking like in water world.

in my experience its better to have a clear boundary...allows zero leeway for bending of the rules.

 

in this case, no smoking period.

 

i wouldnt employ a smoker personally.....but thats for another thread

[treequip]

I smoke about three cigars a night after work,is that a no-no?

of course not.Smoking any time on the job or in my trucks is not allowed.....

Bu**er, I see where you are comming from Steve.

 

Would the equal opps brigade allow you to refuse an applicant on the basis of smoking? That would be an interesting thread.
