EAP REFERRAL Sample Clauses

EAP REFERRAL. A. Employees who receive a first confirmed positive test result or who voluntarily admit illegal drug use under Section 7, will be referred to the EAP consistent with laws, rules and regulations.

EAP REFERRAL. There are two ways to begin rehabilitation through Xxxx’x EAP – voluntary self- referral and managerial referral. Voluntary self-referral is preferred by Pace as a means to resolve drug and/or alcohol problems. Such an opinion is not available to an employee after he/she has been notified to submit to a drug or alcohol test under this policy. Nor can an employee become a volunteer when she/she has been notified to submit to a drug or alcohol test under this policy. Nor can an employee become a volunteer when subjective to disciplinary action in order to avoid imminent discipline. Voluntary participation in the EAP will not adversely impact an employee’s employment or promotional opportunities at Pace. However, employees who do not make a commitment to overcome their drug and/or alcohol problems may experience work performance problems as a result. Accordingly, an employee who exhibits poor or improper job performance as a result or tests positive for drugs and/or alcohol pursuant to a test administered under this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. In the event an employee requests admission into the EAP after commission of an act (including a violation of this policy) which subjects him/her to discharge, Xxxx may in its discretion, subject to pertinent provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreement entered into with the Union, convert the discharge to a suspension and allow the employee admission to the EAP. Such a determination will be based upon the following criteria: the type of rule violation and all circumstances attendant to the incident in question; the employee’s length of service; and the employee’s overall work record.

EAP REFERRAL. Upon the first confirmed determination that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the Public Employer shall meet with the employee in private and refer the employee to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for assessment, counseling, and rehabilitation. Participation in an EAP is mandatory and disciplinary action may be taken against an employee for failure to begin or complete an EAP program. If the employee accepts the offer of rehabilitation, he or she may be placed on leave status until medically cleared to return to work. If employee refuses or fails to participate, it shall be grounds for immediate termination. Upon return to work, the employee will be placed on probation for one (1) year. The probation will include random drug screens, expectation to meet all other job requirements, and encouragement to participate in an EAP Health Maintenance/Relapse Prevention Program. Disciplinary action based on a violation of the Public Employer's drug and alcohol policy isautomatically suspended by the employee‘s participation in an EAP during the first confirmed incident. However, discipline may be reinstated at a later date if such employee incurs a second confirmed incident during the one (1)year probation period.
