No fear, that just makes them spend 40 hours a week thinking about another job instead of working, just hiring right, setting high standards and clear goals and good remuneration.

Credit check, criminal check, drug test, IQ test, psychology test, dna test, etc.

Hell, lets just all wear cameras and our bosses can monitor everything we do from the day we're born.

You can't do an IQ test anymore... Supreme court said no go. But next time you walk into a convenience store see on whom the camera's are pointed. Half are on employees... everything else is GTG.

Corporations are patient. I'm sure they'll eventually get the courts to reverse that decision and even make it legal for them to demand you provide video of your entire life. After all, the only thing stranger then quantum mechanics is corporate law.

Perhaps I should incorporate as the religion of the almighty corporation....

Good. An employer focusing on lowering healthcare costs. No government intervention necessary.

Proof that not hiring smokers lowers healthcare costs...

$ says these premiums go up next year, and the year after, and the year after that.

How soon before your Employer starts telling you where to Shop? You're creating something worse than Communism.

This is a good thing. I always thought how it was so horrible that just beside one of the major entrances into our hospital, from at least before sunup till after sundown, there would be nurses, and techs, and cleaners, sitting there smoking, right in front of patients. It's basically impossible for people to get in during the day without walking through a foul-smelling smog of tobacco smoke. And yet we preach to everyone in the hospital when they're getting care that quitting smoking is the biggest single change they can do to improve their health.

Good rule. Smokers waste a lot of time, well, smoking throughout the day. Not to mention if they don't even care about their bodies how can they care about your bottom line?

Eaters/Grazers are just as bad or Worse--So are **$$%%# folks they're so common...

Here in Canada we are not allowed to smoke outside any entrances, it must be off to the side of the building

Hi,

In Michigan you have to be 100' from the building to smoke.Thre are smoking areas that are well away from all the crybabies and reformed smokers and Drinkers tha sit around tell now tell you the ills of SMOKING.

There are TOO MANY people in this world Like ZEBO... They think that they employ or are boss that they can dictate what you should do with you LIFE! You wonder why People can't find work or have given up looking for work. Would you want to work for someone like ZEBO? Who sits on the WHITE COLLAR ASS and control the lives of their employees?

If you want to SMOKE,DRINK OR have SEX That is your business. Not an employers,As long as you do your JOB that is required!!!!

Oh, and ZEBO It sounds like you wear the PANTS at work. But at home you wear the PANTIES...

In this case the government is not the employer, so it will actually police the employer. It's fascinating that you don't comprehend the dangers of merging the employer and the watch dog.

I'm with Zebo on this one. The amount of extra break time smokers take is significant. It also makes a bad impression if your employees are interacting with clients.

Where can they legally smoke nowadays anyway? Especially in places with outdoor smoking bans?

Seems like the business has to setup a smoking lounge or something, but wouldn't the smoke get out and risk making the company liable for second hand smoke damages?

Most offices do have designated areas, or they save you have to be a certain distance from the building.

I worked at a pharmaceutical company which completely banned smoking on company property. The site was set in about 1/4 mile from the main road so they effectively stopped people from smoking at all during business hours except during lunch. Their argument wasn't about time being wasted but about health. They felt given that their primary business was cancer treatment drugs it was inappropriate to have people smoking on site.
