Common use of Testing for Controlled Substances Clause in Contracts

Testing for Controlled Substances. Employees may be required to submit to testing for controlled substances (including alcohol) when the College determines that it has a reasonable suspicion that the use of such substances affects the performance of the employee's contracted duties (including the duties conducted outside the classroom for which the employee may not receive additional compensation). The College will make a good-faith effort to notify the Association of any upcoming drug test actions. The College will use a certified drug testing facility that will follow standard professional testing guidelines. Any disciplinary action taken as a result of such tests will follow due process and will not violate any other contractual right(s). Termination as a result of this process will follow Article 9E. An employee whose performance for the College appears to be adversely affected by chemical dependency will be encouraged to seek rehabilitation. The College will make good-faith, reasonable efforts to provide training to management and supervisory staff regarding the drug and alcohol policy of the College and the provisions regarding testing.
