That would be a mad policy all on its own, but, to make it madder still, employers are often held responsible for the actions of drunk, addicted, or mad employees _that they were forced to hire_! <br /><br />Thus, if that alcoholic employee that Mr. Kapitalist didn't want to engage, but whom he was forced to hire by a decree of the state equal employment commission, kills a soccer mom and her three kids on the way to a game because he plowed the company truck into her minivan while drunk as a lord on company time, Mr. K will probably find himself being sued for every penny his business has, or is likely to have, by her husband. The equal employment commission, of course, enjoys sovereign immunity, and cannot be held responsible for forcing the hire.
