Positive Tests. The District will refer covered workers who violate District prohibitions related to drugs and alcohol to a Drug/Alcohol Program. The District shall provide the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of substance abuse professionals and counseling and treatment programs available to evaluate and resolve drug and alcohol-related problems. The worker shall be evaluated by a substance abuse professional who shall determine what help, if any the covered worker needs in resolving the problems. Workers participating in a rehabilitation program will be on an approved leave. Sick leave, vacation, and compensatory time may be used to cover the absence while in rehabilitation. Workers who seek voluntary assistance for substance abuse prior to testing positive may not be disciplined for seeking such assistance. Requests from workers for such assistance shall remain confidential and shall not be revealed to other workers or management personnel without the worker's consent. Workers enrolled in substance abuse programs shall be subject to all District rules, regulations, and job performance standards with the understanding that a worker enrolled in such a program is receiving treatment for an illness.
