I like how you guys cover your ass from this in the hiring paperwork. I've seen enough wrongful dismissal cases to know what's required to cover your ass as an employer, and all companies should do this. HOWEVER, if someone, say, got in a car accident and became permanently disabled as a result of that and needed accommodation, they would be entitled to reasonable accommodation. So it would be kind of fun to get to the depo stage on this one and have to have the fat fuck either admit that a) they lied on their application or b) they ate themselves further into the position of having a disability. I wish normal careers could impose weight requirements like careers that demand it, like athletics, acting, modelling, etc. And maybe you could, depending on the position. If, generally speaking, a weight of XXX lbs makes one physically unable to perform their job to the ability that they could when they were hired, you should be able to theoretically impose that requirement and say that a weight over XXX lbs makes you liable to termination. I'm sure that wouldn't stand because discrimanashun1!1!! but it works in my slightly-more-ideal world. ETA: I was a manager at a mall kiosk where our rule for employees was that if they weren't doing inventory work or continuing education that we provided on the computers, they should not be sitting in the chair. If I caught an employee seated on the job, I would give them a reprimand. Good enough reason to not hire fats, if I looked at them and determined that there's no way in hell they would be able to stand and walk around for their whole shift, thus not being able to fulfill the requirements of their job.
