Can you take intoxicants during work?

😵‍💫 taking intoxicants during work is not damaged, can you dismiss them?

💬 Answer: Yes, but not all cases.

If an employee takes intoxicants during work, especially work that poses a risk to safety, such as work on machinery, forklifts, driving vehicles, or work that may endanger life and property, there is a flammable object.

Even if there is no accident or damage, the employer may dismiss immediately because it is a serious discipline offence.

The reason is that these regulations are meant to prevent damage. There is no need to wait for damage to be punished.

If a serious offence is committed, as required by the work regulations, or even not prescribed, but according to the facts, when it is explained that it can cause serious damage, such as smoking in a factory with flammable objects outside the work hours, it is clearly seen and video on CCTV.

✅ Employers have the right to dismiss immediately.

✅ No compensation shall be paid in accordance with the Workers Protection Act, section 119 (4).

✅ have to indicate the reason in the termination book about the facts.

📌 What employers need to be aware of

Not all behavior violates regulations. It is always a "serious offence." The court will determine the nature of the job, the risk and the facts in each case.

💡 Recommends: If the work is high risk, the employer should set the matter in the regulations or company regulations and inform the employee of it from the beginning of the work so that all parties clearly understand the rules and consequences of the breach.

🚨 if it's not yet a serious crime.

Generally, employers have the right to take procedural disciplinary actions, such as suspending, issuing a warning book, according to regulations, and if an employee repeats a warning book within one year, it can also be a dismissal without paying compensation.
