Can I Discipline an Employee in Illinois About Making a Drug-Related Joke to Another Employee?

Question by the_rising_goddess: Can I discipline an employee in Illinois about making a drug-related joke to another employee?
I have hired a temp using an agency that I have worked with before. The temp does a supposedly wonderful job handling her duties, but I believe she is socially inept. I hear employees telling each other about how the temp reveals more information about herself than is appropriate in a professional setting. This, the third tale I’ve heard, has her admitting to another employee that she used to be a recovering drug addict, but now she smoked crack on Saturday. That is horrible! Should I can her and hope I could find another temp to do a good job, or should I just advise her to keep her mouth shut, not having to worry about training another person?
