Before Committing a Policy Violation. When an employee voluntarily reports a drug or alcohol dependency to his/her supervisor, Department Director or HR Director and seeks assistance before violating this Policy, that employee will be placed on a leave of absence or adjusted working hours as necessary to allow for in-patient or out-patient treatment. Employees in safety-sensitive positions who voluntarily inform the City that they have a drug or alcohol-related problem prior to a Policy violation or testing requirement will be removed from their duties to allow for rehabilitation and treatment. The employee will not be permitted to return to their regular duties until such time as the SAP provides the City with written verification that the employee has substantially completed the recommended assistance, but may be returned to other available non- safety sensitive duties with approval from the City. Employees must authorize the SAP and treatment provider(s) to provide the Human Resources Director with information regarding his/her recommendations for education/treatment and follow up testing as well as the employee’s compliance with those recommendations. Employees may not self-refer for treatment or rehabilitation services in lieu of taking required tests.
