The same for drugs. If I take any prescription drug I have to tell work and they get it checked with a OccHealth company (BUPA). The painkillers I was on for my back would have got me sacked if I hadn't told them I was on them. Antibiotics are another one.

If I lost my job I'd lose my home, my bikes, everything.

It ain't worth it.



Let me get this straight, you are compelled to inform your employer of any prescription drugs you are taking or you are in jeapardy of losing your job? Is this common practice in the UK, or do you have a job which has particular requirements and this is done for safety purposes (like heavy equipment operation, or other industrial work)? If it's common practice for every job - including office work - then I'm even more convinced that Big Brother is alive and well in Great Britain.
