Any applicant or employee who is unable to provide an adequate amount of urine specimen for drug testing will be directed to drink up to forty (40) ounces of fluid, distributed reasonably through a period of up to three (3) hours, or until the employee has provided a new urine specimen, whichever occurs first. If the employee refuses to provide a new specimen, the collection site person shall terminate the collection. In all cases involving an employee who cannot provide an adequate specimen within the three (3) hour period, a Pace designated MRO shall refer the employee for a medical evaluation to develop pertinent information concerning whether the employee's inability to provide a specimen is genuine or constitutes a refusal to provide a specimen. If the former, Pace will make whatever accommodation is reasonable in light of all circumstances relevant to the case. If the latter, the employee's failure to provide an adequate amount of urine will be regarded as a refusal to submit to take the test and the employee will be discharged.

If the physician is unable to make such a determination, the employee's failure to provide an adequate amount of breath will be regarded as a refusal to take the test and the employee will be discharged.
