Common use of Disciplinary Consequences Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Consequences. An employee who tests positive for alcohol, drugs, over-the-counter drugs or other mind-altering substances as a result of a test shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Provided, however, that in the County’s discretion, an employee may be allowed the option of treatment through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and discipline. The option of treatment and discipline is available to each employee only once during their period of employment with Winnebago County. If the employee selects the option that includes treatment and discipline, the terms and conditions of the treatment and discipline shall be decided by Management based on, among other factors, the employee’s longevity with the County, their job responsibilities/duties, the office/department they work in, the employee’s record of conduct and performance on the job, and extenuating circumstances that led up to the situation. Each case will be reviewed and determined individually by the Human Resources Department, in conjunction with the Department Head.
