Sodexo will not be a party to or have access to matters discussed between the Employee and the MRO, except to respond to a claim made in a grievance, arbitration, lawsuit or administrative charge. Until the Employee contacts the MRO or a reasonable time has lapsed after the Employee was asked to contact the MRO, Sodexo will not be advised of the test result. If legitimate, medically supported reasons exist to explain the positive result, the MRO will report the test result to Sodexo as a negative.
