Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. The Employer and the Union shall encourage employees with alcohol or drug addictions to place themselves in an appropriate treatment program. Where the alcohol and/or drug addiction interferes with the employee's job performance, the Employer can require that the employee commence and maintain an approved treatment program. If a treatment program requires an absence from work, an employee can use accumulated vacation or sick time. If the employee requires further time away from work or is not eligible for Long Term Disability benefits, the employee can apply for an unpaid leave of absence. The Employer will not unreasonably deny that application. If the absence is to exceed ninety (90) days, the employee shall apply for Long Term Disability benefits (if enrolled in the LTD Plan). When commencing a treatment program, that requires an absence from work, the employee shall advise the Employer of the expected duration of that absence.
