Chiropractic Note on an Employees Refusal to accept Chiropractic Care – Beware!
Many Chiropractors (and other service providers) insist that as part of employment that the employee must be under the care of a chiropractor with the employer or another chiropractor. Some employees have refused and have subsequently faced termination of their employment. This practice is discriminatory, an act of duress and unlawful.
Any employer who engages in these practices will be found liable and subject to a number of legislative damages and penalties that will severely impact their business. You must ensure that even when employing a person and where they object to this condition that you are able to prove in the event they did not get the position and make a complaint that this was not a contributing factor. It is important to take advice as listening to friends or practitioners who may have previously insisted on this practice may be extremely damaging to your business.
