Drug
Free Work Policy
It is the purpose of UniqueHR to help provide a safe and drug-free
work environment for our clients and employees. We have established the
following policy for existing and future employees of UniqueHR.
UniqueHR explicitly
prohibits:
-
The use, possession, solicitation for, or sale of narcotics or
other illegal drugs, alcohol, or prescription medication without a
prescription on UniqueHR or customer premises or while performing an
assignment.
-
Being impaired or under the influence of legal or illegal drugs
or alcohol away from UniqueHR or customer premises, if such
impairment or influence adversely affects the employee's work
performance, the safety of the employee or of others, or puts UniqueHR's reputation at risk.
-
Possession, use, solicitation for, or sale of legal or illegal
drugs or alcohol away from UniqueHR or customer premises, if such
activity or involvement adversely affects the employee's work
performance, the safety of the employee or of others, or puts UniqueHR's reputation at risk.
-
The presence of any detectable amount of prohibited substances
in the employee's system while at work, while on the premises of UniqueHR or its customers, or while on UniqueHR business.
"Prohibited substances" include illegal drugs, alcohol, or
prescription drugs not taken in accordance with a prescription given
to the employee.
UniqueHR will conduct drug and/or alcohol testing under any of the
following circumstances:
-
RANDOM TESTING: Employees may be selected at random for drug
and/or alcohol testing at any interval determined by UniqueHR.
-
FOR-CAUSE TESTING: UniqueHR may ask an employee to submit to a
drug and/or alcohol test at any time it feels that the employee may
be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, including, but not
limited to, the following circumstances: evidence of drugs or
alcohol on or about the employee's person or in the employee's
vicinity, unusual conduct on the employee's part that suggests
impairment or influence of drugs or alcohol, negative performance
patterns, or excessive and unexplained absenteeism or tardiness.
-
POST-ACCIDENT TESTING: Any employee involved in an on-the-job
accident or injury under circumstances that suggest possible use or
influence of drugs or alcohol in the accident or injury event may be
asked to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test. "Involved in an
on-the-job accident or injury" means not only the one who was or
could have been injured, but also any employee who potentially
contributed to the accident or injury event in any way.
If an employee is tested for drugs or alcohol outside of the
employment context and the results indicate a violation of this policy,
or if an employee refuses a request to submit to testing under this
policy, the employee may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action,
up to and possibly including discharge from employment. In such a case,
the employee will be given an opportunity to explain the circumstances
prior to any final employment action becoming effective.
