Doesn an employer have the right to fire or demote employees if they gain a lot of weight?
The only valid criterion for job evaluation, raises, promotions, disciplinary action, demotion, or firing is job performance. If an employer thinks an employee’s weight hinders their ability to do the job, the employer should discuss this with the employee and make a determination, not make a judgment about the person’s ability based solely on their weight.
