[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3329321, member: 63706"] The problem with zero tolerance policies is that they are also zero brain policies. Every situation is different, a good employee who makes a bad decision in his off time shouldn't necessarily be terminated immediately, it should depend on the merits of the case. An employee drinking and driving on the job, that is a no brainer... immediate termination. My concern is when employers start getting too involved in what we do in our personal lives. Where do you draw the line there? Not saying a company whose employees drive on public roadways shouldn't monitor their employee's driving records, in fact I believe they are legally required to. But it's unrealistic to expect people to act against their own self-interest. When the options are to tell now and lose your job now, or wait until the company finds out, then lose your job, that's a no-brainer. As such, it's in any company's best interest to have a policy that encourages honesty by offering the employee a way to keep their job as long as they report these types of things as soon as possible.
