Here's an odd case: a carpenter was fired for smoking cannabis on the job but the Employment Relations Authority said - Uh-uh naughty boss, do not pass Go, and please pay the employee $13,760.

Ha small world Christchurch, I know Johnny, Danny and the owner of CCL quite well. Don't know the toker though. I would've fired his arse as well, although I would've made sure it stuck.

... he'll not be able to claim for any benefit then. I'm more than happy for people to be fired for being pissed or stoned at work... shame the business got hammered for it.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

If only the boss had taken a day to get the guy's feedback then taken a few more hours to (appear to) consider what he had said before sacking his stupid arse all would have been good. Still...$13k for a bad process when the sacking was so justifiable is pretty steep.

tough allegation, How did they know what Marijuana smells like?
Aio ki te Aorangi
irrespective of my younger stoner years, I've yet to turn up to work and have a smoke... turned up still pissed a few times... possibly quite a few. Achually tell a lie, we did help a guy build his house and it was he who skinned up at lunchtime, damn good man... perfect after a night mushied oota oor minds and OMG we didn't fall off the roof or injure ourselves even though we had no skills, were stoned on a comedown and worked 30 feet from the ground sometimes. Other than that nope, never did it irrespective of opportunity, just in case.

I've heard it has a distinctive smell and only an extremely naive individual would not be able to figure out the difference between Port Royal and a bit of cabbage... Heard even the legal herbal smokes smells different, however I could be wrong

The thing is - if you catch somebody smoking an odd-smelling rollie on the job, what do you do? You can't (as a civilian) search him or his tobacco. You cannot require him to submit to an immediate drug/blood test.

It's none of your business anyway, so why would you want to do anything?

If your the employer then it becomes very much your business. That's why you would want to do anything.
As a concerned citizen, i would make it my business too. as i don't tend to like dope heads!
Trumpydom!

So just because some people who toke up are "dope heads", that doesn't mean they all are. Some black people are thieves too, but does that mean that all blacks are thieves?

Off topic - he was caught doing something illegal and just plain stupid. Should have been kicked off site then and there.

The only thing "plan stupid" is the laws that make it illegal in the first place, when far more dangerous and addictive substances such as alcohol and tobacco are legal.

So if he had been drinking (on a buildingsite) that would be ok?
