Common use of RECOGNITION OF TREATABLE PROBLEMS Clause in Contracts

RECOGNITION OF TREATABLE PROBLEMS. The Employer and the Union recognize that alcohol and chemical dependency are chronic and treatable conditions. The Employer and the Union support efforts which will enable the chemically dependent employee to remain employed so long as performance expectations are maintained and the employee is not found to be under the influence of illicit drugs, prescription drugs for which the employee has no current prescription, or alcohol while on duty. Efforts should be made by the employee to identify those conditions and the treatment options at an early stage to prevent or minimize erosion in work performance when applicable. The Employer and the Union will encourage and support employee self-reporting of such dependency issues and participation in the State substance abuse monitoring program, including individually tailored “return to work” agreements, through which employees may seek confidential assistance in the resolution of chemical dependency or other problems which may impact job performance. The Employer further acknowledges that alcoholism and chemical dependency are health conditions for which the employee is eligible for accrued sick leave and/or health leave of absence under the same terms as other health conditions provided the employee is participating in an approved treatment/rehabilitation program.
