Fitness for Duty Testing. Section 1. Chemical tests and/or medical examinations may be administered to any bargaining unit member to determine his or her fitness for duty, when such tests are part of an official internal investigation or when there is “reasonable suspicion” that an employee may be unfit for duty. Any chemical tests may be tested at two different levels; an initial screening, which if positive, will be followed by a confirming test using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Such tests will be conducted in a manner so as to minimize an invasion of the employee’s privacy. Chain of custody procedures will be maintained. The employee will be advised that the results may not be used against him or her in criminal proceedings, and the employee will be given the opportunity to give explanation why the test may be positive. NOTE: Examples of evidence that would give the City a reasonable basis to test for drug or alcohol use includes, but are not limited to, observation of an employee’s behavior patterns and physical manifestations; circumstantial evidence, such as drug paraphernalia; and the occurrence of on-the-job accidents or incidents associated with physical manifestation of impaired functioning. Section 2. Bargaining unit members will participate in substance use testing, as required by the City to be in compliance with the BWC's Drug Free Workplace Program. These tests may include random drug testing. Testing procedures and frequencies will not exceed that which is required by the DFWP. Those members who test positive for substance use will be given the opportunity for rehabilitation and a "last chance agreement" as allowed through DFWP. This Section will only be enforceable while the City is in compliance with DFWP, and upon request, the City will provide the Union with notification of its compliance any time testing is required.
Fitness for Duty Testing. From time to time the Sheriff may require an employee to undergo psychological or physical evaluations to ensure an employee is fit to perform the duties of their position or to monitor the welfare of the employee after critical incidents. The Employer may require the employee to report to a physician or clinician to perform the evaluations. Prior to the evaluation, the employee will be given a written explanation, citing specific performance or behavioral issues requiring the need for a fitness for duty evaluation. If the reason for an evaluation is simply a statutory requirement, for example SB111, the written explanation will state that purpose. In all cases required evaluations will strictly be limited to bona fide business needs and never as discipline. The physician or clinician will report the results of the test to the county and the employee. The only information, which the physician or clinician may release, is whether the employee is fit or unfit for duty or whether the employee requires modified work conditions. If the physician or clinician believes the employee is fit for duty but needs modified work conditions, the physician or clinician may indicate what modifications are necessary and the extent or duration projected of the modification. The physician or clinician will keep all data that has been made available to him confidential and not release it to any of the parties, except the employee and treating physician or clinician if requested in writing consistent with applicable state and federal regulations.
