Voluntary Treatment. The County strongly encourages persons with drug or alcohol problems to seek immediate treatment. Employees are encouraged to use the Employee Assistance Program, which can provide information on counseling and rehabilitation. If an employee believes he/she has a problem with drugs or alcohol, he/she may seek a leave of absence, in accordance with Grafton County personnel policies or the collective bargaining agreement (if applicable), for the time needed to complete an approved (*) rehabilitation program at his/her own cost, if not covered by health insurance. The employee will not receive a disciplinary penalty of any kind for this decision.

The person authorizing the test will inform the employee about the facts upon which the suspicion of impairment and the decision to test is based. Employees who are requested to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test will be expected to complete a “Consent / Release” form authorizing an agent of a County-designated facility to perform the test and to release the results to the County.
