Employment Screening. In balancing the NJIT community’s right to have a drug- free Public Safety Department against the Public Safety Officer’s right to privacy, urinalysis will be the chosen method of screening. Screening will be administered as follows: (1) screening of all Public Safety Officers, in the absence of “reasonable individualized suspicion” may be conducted at NJIT’s discretion at any time upon five (5) calendar days’ notice or (2) individual screening will be administered only when there is a “reasonable individualized suspicion” to believe that an individual Public Safety Officer is using drugs in violation of policy. Testing will be required based on the objective facts and on rational inferences, drawn by a supervisor, to indicate that the usage of any drug may be the cause of an unfit condition where the Public Safety Officer is: a. Impaired in, or incapable of performing his or her assigned duties, and/or b. The subject of investigation “where sufficient evidence and facts are present to constitute a reasonable/individualized suspicion” that he or she is involved in the use, possession or sale of drugs and/or c. Experiencing (without plausible, legitimate explanation proffered and fully validated) excessive absenteeism and significantly reduced productivity, and/or d. Found to have excessive or otherwise suspicious on-duty injuries or other accidents indicating negligence in relation to assigned duties; and/or e. Exhibiting unusual and/or bizarre behavior patterns, reasonably deemed inconsistent with regular and appropriate behavior patterns.
