Description

The Alcohol and Drug Free Workplace Policy establishes a framework for a safe and drug-free work environment, aiming to mitigate the serious issues of drug abuse in the workplace. Key features of this policy include explicit prohibitions against the use, possession, and solicitation of narcotics, alcohol, or prescription medications without a prescription both on company premises and while performing work assignments. Employees are also prohibited from being impaired by these substances during work, whether on or off premises, if it adversely affects their performance or the company's reputation. The policy outlines provisions for drug and alcohol testing under specific circumstances such as random testing, for-cause testing based on observed behavior or performance issues, and post-accident testing. Additionally, any positive test results or refusal to comply may lead to disciplinary actions, including termination, after allowing the employee to explain their circumstances. This policy serves attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a clear guide on maintaining workplace compliance and managing potential legal challenges arising from substance abuse issues.
