I misunderstood you then; I could have swore you said you were taking Percocet for a Plantar's wart on your toe.

well i have a reason to take the pills beacuse of a planters wart i had on my toe.
I don't know any doctors that prescribe Percocet for a painful Plantar's wart with enough refills on the prescription for a year.

Yes, your employer can legally decide he doesn't want you as an employee because you take Percocets for the pain associated with a Plantar's wart. Unless you are claiming that you are disabled from the Plantar's wart and taking the Percocet is a reasonable accommodation.
