SPECIAL LICENSES AND DRUG/ALCOHOL TESTING. If the Employer or government agency requests a regular employee to qualify on equipment requiring a classified or special license, or in the event an employee is required to qualify (recognizing seniority) on such equipment, the Employer shall allow such regular employee the use of the equipment so required in order to take the examination on the employee’s own time. If the employer requires (senior may, junior must) that an employee obtain a commercial drivers license or additional endorsements, the employee shall be required to pay for such CDL and endorsements, and the employer shall, upon completion of certification, pay that employee the one time sum of $250.00. The employer will execute and pay for all non-CDL related identification, documents, proof of citizenship or any other means, including time spent, required by the Employers and/or the Employer’s customer(s) to ensure that the employee shall have access to any job location he/she is being dispatched to.
