Working On Prescribe Pain Meds

Updated

I have been prescibed oxycodone for pain from 3 surgeries. I have worked for my company for almost 7 years. I recently moved to atlanta and now im being told that I cannot work if im taking pain meds even though it has been prescribed by my doctor and I have used it for the past 5 years and never had an issue until now. Can they do that or does the law covers me can anyone help.

Help, Jbliss! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having.

Much of it really depends on what your job entails. There are certain jobs that are considered unsafe to perform under the influence of such medications, even if a doctor has ordered them, such as driving a truck, operating heavy machinery, or supervising those that do.

There are some legal protections, but they don't apply in all cases.

Is there anything else I can help with?

It is a liability issue for the company you work for.
