Substance Free Workplace - It is Association's goal to provide a drug- and alcohol-free and smoke free, healthy, and safe workplace. Employees are required to report to work in appropriate mental and physical condition to perform their jobs in a satisfactory manner.
Prohibited Behavior - An employee is prohibited from possessing, using, selling, purchasing, storing, distributing, manufacturing, or having alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, controlled substances, or narcotics present in the employee's system when reporting to work, during working hours, or at any time while conducting official business-related activities. Illegal drug paraphernalia, such as pipes and needles, are prohibited on Association premises, at work sites, and in Association, leased, rental, and personal vehicles being used for Association business.
Use of Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drugs - Prescription drugs must be in the possession of the individual to whom the prescription was written, taken in the dosage prescribed, and maintained in their original containers. Employees in public safety positions, or if their job requires operation of a motor vehicle or power equipment, must inform their supervisors of any prescription or legal, nonprescription (i.e., over-the-counter) drugs they are currently taking that could in any way affect or impair the employee's ability to perform the job safely. The legal use of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair an employee's ability to perform the job safely and if it does not affect the safety or well being of other individuals in the workplace or our clients.
Reporting of Problems - An employee must report any problems in the workplace that occur as a result of alcohol or drugs to the employee's supervisor immediately. This includes an employee's own problems or those that are the result of others.
Drug-Free Workplace Act - Association complies with the Drug-Free Workplace Act. In accordance with the Act, employees must notify their supervisors of any criminal drug conviction occurring in the workplace within five days of the conviction.
Disciplinary Action - Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. The possession, use, sale, purchase, storing, distribution, or manufacture of illegal drugs shall also be brought to the attention of the appropriate law enforcement agency.
