While at work, we have zero tolerance for any substance (except medications used as prescribed). The only exception is alcohol in moderation at company events where it’s provided or explicitly allowed (for example, a party or a virtual happy hour).
We also do not allow any employee to sell, buy, or distribute substance or drug-related paraphernalia.
To avoid substance abuse in the workplace, we require all employees to conduct drug tests for the following reasons:
- We have extended you a new position or a promotion
- An accident occurred in the workplace, and its cause is unclear
- You appear to be under the influence while at work
- Your name is selected at random by our [HR department]
If your drug test comes back positive, disciplinary action may be taken up to termination. Consequences are determined by [HR] depending on the severity of the case.
If the substance that tests positive is prescribed, we will require validation from your [local law and the doctor who prescribed it]. However, if the prescribed substance poses potential safety concerns in your position, you may be transferred to another role. For example, this transfer will occur if your job requires the operation of heavy machinery.
