Gentex had granted the employee medical family leave for neck surgery with the stipulation that she get medical certification from a physician at Spectrum. The physician noted in the certification that the woman uses marijuana “about five times a week,” as was prescribed by another physician. The employee tried unsuccessfully to have Spectrum remove references to her marijuana use. Meanwhile, Gentax asked that she accept a severance package and resign or face charges under the company’s substance abuse rules.
