Any employee asked to undergo such a test may be suspended from work, without p ay, until further notice.
Refusal or failure to abide by this policy, including promptly submitting to a drug or alcohol test when asked to do so, may
result in the immediate termination of your employment.
Substance Abuse as a Medical Condition
Althoug h our policy against substance abuse in the workplace is strict, we recognize that substance abuse can be a medical
condition and can be successfully treated. For that reason, the company may provide an unpaid leave for an employee to
enroll in an appropri ate rehabilitation program, consistent with the company's Medical Leave of Absence policy.
An employee with a substance abuse problem is expected and required to maintain the same standards of conduct as all
other employees but will not be disciplined or retaliated against for admitting the problem and seeking assistance.
Failure to abide by this policy or refusal to consent to testing when requested may result in disciplinary action, up to and
including immediate termination, even for a first offense.
Every employee must acknowledge receipt of this policy and agree, as a condition of employment, to a) abide by the terms
of the policy, and b) notify the company of any criminal drug (or alcohol) conviction for a violation occurring in the workpl ace
or wh ile conducting company business not more than five days after such conviction.
