YOUR TIME IS NOT YOUR TIME

Anita Epolito lost her job for refusing to submit to an employer mandated urine test that would have revealed after hours recreational drug use:

"It was unbelievable, because I truly believed that what you did after 5 o'clock had nothing to do with your job," said Epolito, then a 15-year employee at Weyco Inc., a health benefits administrator in Okemos, Mich.

She took her case to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission but learned that in Michigan, as in 19 other states, her employer had the right to dismiss her for off-duty activity.

The drug? Nicotine.
