Voluntary Identification. An employee may voluntarily identify himself/herself as an abuser of prescription drugs prior to being identified through other means. Such self-identification may occur through any person in the employee's chain-of-command or an Association representative. Under these circumstances the employee will participate in a mandatory rehabilitation program paid for by the employee and/or the appropriate health insurance carrier. The employee will also be subject to the conditions of a last- chance agreement, limited only to the issue of a repeated instance of prescription drug abuse, which will include unannounced testing for a two (2) year period. Because a last-chance agreement is provided in lieu of a termination, no other discipline will be applied in conjunction with the last-chance agreement. A last- chance agreement, as provided herein, will remain in an employee’s personnel file for the duration of his/her employment or re-employment. Voluntary identification of the use of prohibited drugs will subject the employee to termination.
