Last month, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released its first ever guidance document on how an employer is to manage an employee or job applicant who uses (or has used) opioids “Use of Codeine, Oxycodone, and Other Opioids: Information for Employees.” The guidance is intended to clarify employee rights (and employer obligations) under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when managing employees and job applicants alike who are using (or have used) opioids. The guidance expresses EEOC's opinion that many of these individuals are considered "disabled" and thus entitled to the myriad protections afforded under the ADA.
