Alcoholism is considered a disability and in order to alleviate the burden placed by the ADA, the employer must do three things.
inform the person that they can get help and give them an ultimatum about getting help-get it or get out
allow them to enroll and complete outpatient tx
allow them to enroll and complete inpatient tx
They are not in trouble for taking the keys from him because they are allowed to do that. They are however required to reasonably accomodate those with diasabilities which means if they have other jobs this alckie is qualified for, they were required to let him do that job...
