Common use of EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE SERVICE Clause in Contracts

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE SERVICE. A. If the above-referenced testing results are positive, the employee shall be given the opportunity to participate in the Employee Assistance Service (EAS) offered by the City of Rochester Hills. Participation in the EAS allows employees to be directed to medical help by participating in a rehabilitation program and, at the same time, be given an opportunity to possibly retain employment with the City. Employees who are required or elect to be treated on an in-patient basis must utilize annual and/or vacation time for this purpose. In the absence of such available time, the employee will be granted a leave of absence without pay and without loss of seniority for in- patient treatment. If the employee does not participate in and successfully complete a prescribed rehabilitation program within six (6) calendar months of the positive test, he/she shall be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge. If the employee successfully completes the prescribed rehabilitation program, the employee will be returned to his/her former position with retention of all seniority rights. B. Any subsequent positive test within twenty-four (24) months after the conclusion of the rehabilitation program will result in immediate discharge. The Union agrees that a termination under these circumstances is not subject to the grievance procedure. Subsequent testing during this 24 month period shall be random and limited to no more than four (4) random tests during this period. Random testing will occur during the employee’s regularly scheduled work time. Such random testing is in addition to other alcohol/controlled substance testing prescribed by this Article and shall be in accordance with the testing procedures contained in this Article. All participants in the EAS may submit their participation costs to the parties’ health insurance carrier for possible reimbursement.
