QUESTION
What can I do if I was fired from my job for a positive urine test? They never stated that I would be subject to random urine tests

More details to this question:
They found paraphranalia while at work but they could not pin it on anyone so they decided that urine tests would be given. My results came back positive and HR called me and fired me over the phone. The drug we are talking about is marijuana. I do not smoke it at work nor am I under the influence of it while at work. Can they really just fire me without unemployment or anything?

unfortunately they are fire you. nj is an 'employment-at-will' state. as such, there does not need to be a reason. in this instance, you gave them a reason. i would to see if they will 'give you a break' on getting 'unemployment compensation'. ed dimon, esq,
