My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
My girlfriend recently got a new job and loves it. She happened to get this right during peak harvest time. I currently am involved in the legal cannabis industry in California and this time of year is when the outdoor crop is harvested. Because of that my entire house fills with the smell of cannabis. We had not anticipated how much the smell would linger on clothes in the home and when my girlfriend arrived at work she was sent home and told HR would be called because she smelled like cannabis. She does not consume cannabis and would/will pass the drug test if given. I fully understand the need for employees to not smell like this substance and she is extremely embarrassed it happened. My question is if anyone has insight into whether a company would be able to fire her for just smelling like cannabis, even if she passes the drug test and clearly has never been under the influence at work or otherwise? Any insight would be much appreciated.
