Q. My employer gives me $65/mth for my cellphone, is this taxable income?

March 30, 2022

A: Generally speaking, the IRS has answered this question in the negative- In 2011, the Internal Revenue Service issued an internal field memorandum generally advising that employers will be allowed to reimburse an employee’s cell phone expenses if the employer has substantial business reasons, other than providing compensation to the employee, for requiring the employee’s use of personal cell phones in connection with the employer’s business. And provided certain requirements are satisfied, the reimbursement will receive favorable tax treatment. You can learn more about the specific requirements that must be satisfied by reading the IRS internal field memorandum here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/foia/ig/sbse/sbse-04-0911-083.pdf

Q. Can you be rightfully fired for failing a breathalyzer at work the next day after drinking the night before?

March 30, 2022

A: Assuming your position with your employer was an at-will employment relationship, it would may be difficult to challenge the legality of your employer's decision to end this at-will relationship based upon a failed breathalyzer test, regardless of whether you consumed alcohol that day or not, if the breathalyzer accurately reflected that you were under the influence of alcohol. However, the question becomes more complicated if the failed breathalyzer test was unrelated to normal, typical or casual alcohol consumption, but was, for example, caused by a prescribed medication. This question also becomes more complicated if the failed breathalyzer was related to an underlying an impairment, such as alcoholism, which under certain circumstances may be considered a disability within the meaning of the Americans with Disability Act. You can learn more about alcoholism and the possible protections afforded by the ADA here: https://adata.org/faq/are-alcoholics-covered-ada#:~:text=However%2C%20an%20employer%20can%20discipline,under%20the%20influence%20of%20alcohol.
