Thats cool, but I just wonder how he would get away with it, theres got to be something illegal about telling someone to quit smoking on there own time at home or leave.

well, there must be a loop hole cause I remember not too long ago there was a story in USA Today about a cigar company (of all companies) that did the same thing with its employees. I dont know if the employees were smoking all their profit away or what but they had to chose, work there and quit smoking or go find another employer.

This dumbass is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Even if it is legal (which it is not, look at am. jur. prud.) He will shell out more in court cost than he ever would in higher insurance rates. Maybe someone sould tell the old bastard that it is time to retire.

He has brought in an eating disorder therapist to speak to workers, provided eating coaches, created a point system for employees to earn health-related $100 bonuses and plans to offer $45 vouchers for health club memberships.
Last year, he banned smoking during office hours, then demanded smokers pay a monthly $50 "assessment," and finally instituted mandatory testing.
Twenty workers quit the habit.
So far no legal challenges have been made to Weyco's policies.

I say more power to the guy. However, it is unfortunate that some loser and his lawyer will probably end up suing the guy. He is actually helping people lead healthier lives, and some asswipe is going to go and screw it up for them.

I am sure someone will try and sue..but I dont see why it would be illegal. Smoking is not a disablity and is not protected..an employer doesnt have to employ drug users, they can drug test people...smoking in my opinion is a drug habit...nicotine addiction..and smokers take a crap load of breaks. I wouldnt want to employ them either.
i say power to them, people should be able to hire the best for the job. smoking and being fat can obviously harm a workers performance imo
and no one likes fat people! that is why i joined a gym
my work provides a system called healthy lifestyles, and has been for years.
ou get assessed every year and keep track of your exercising and if you make progress the next year you get money (based on how well you did).
not smoking and always wearing seatbelts are part of the assessment.
great idea imo
besides that, smoking is just plain retarded
