The Company conducts pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol testing. As a condition of employment, employees are required to submit to a pre-employment drug test and must agree to random drug and alcohol testing. Employees who are asked to test will be required to complete the test within one hour of notification. In the event an employee refuses to submit to a drug or alcohol test, the employee willfully self-terminates employment.
In addition, any employee who drives a company-owned vehicle will be subject to random drug testing throughout the year.
In the event of a positive test result, the company may either terminate the employee for violation of the Drug and Alcohol policy or at the company’s discretion, the employee will be required to sign a commitment letter and agree to be tested randomly for three (3) consecutive months as a condition of further employment. The employee may be offered the opportunity to seek treatment as a condition of ongoing employment. Employees working in safety-sensitive positions will be removed from this type of work until the employee submits to several negative drug or alcohol tests and/or shows ongoing participation in treatment courses. Should another test come back positive, the employee will be terminated and will not be eligible for rehire for a period of at least one year. If the employee is already on a commitment letter, for any reason (not necessarily related to the use of drugs/alcohol or a positive drug or alcohol test), any positive drug or alcohol test result will be grounds for immediate self-termination.
Employees taking medication prescribed by a physician that would impair judgment or performance must report this to his or her supervisor. They may also be required to work with the company drug and alcohol testing provider to determine whether the drug can be combined with the essential job functions of the position.
Drug policy allows more frequent testing for select departments, driven by heightened liability concerns and contractual obligations to our valued customers. This ensures we maintain the highest standards of safety and compliance across our operations.
