Drug Free Policy
Drug Free Policy
NON-SMOKING
Smoking, including the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems – known as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-hookahs and e-pipes, is not permitted on Company premises or in any Company building, facility, work site, or vehicle.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL
The Company is dedicated to providing employees with a workplace that is free of drugs and alcohol. For the safety of our employees and clients, the Company reserves the right to test any employee for the use of illegal drugs, marijuana, or alcohol under state, federal, or local laws. This may be done in cases where the employee’s job carries a risk of injury or accident due to such use, or if there is an apparent inability to perform the duties required of that position. Specific jobs may, at the Company’s discretion, require regular drug testing. Drug or alcohol tests may be conducted after an accident or with reasonable suspicion of impairment while on the job. Under those circumstances the employee may be driven to a certified lab for the test at the Company’s expense.
Any employee found to use, sell, possess or distribute drugs that are illegal under state, federal or local laws, including marijuana, or any unauthorized drugs (including excessive quantities of prescription or over-the-counter drugs) while on the Company premises, performing Company-related duties, or while operating any Company equipment is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Any suspected illegal drugs confiscated will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Any employee taking medication should consult a medical professional to determine whether the drug may affect their personal safety or ability to perform the essential functions of the job and should advise their supervisor or manager of any job limitations.
Upon notification of job limitations, the Company will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the limitation.
The moderate limit of two (2) drinks at Company approved meetings held after business hours, with business meals and travel, or in an appropriate social setting is not prohibited by this policy.
To the extent any federal, state or local law, rule, or regulation limits or prohibits the application of any provision of this policy, then to the minimum extent necessary and only for that geographical area, this policy is deemed to be amended in compliance.
