Legal Documents of Dandridge

Any employee reporting to work visibly impaired will be deemed unable to perform required duties and will not be allowed to work. If possible, the employee's supervisor will first seek another supervisor's opinion to confirm the employee's status. Next, the supervisor will consult privately with the employee to determine the cause of the observation, including whether substance abuse has occurred. If, in the opinion of the supervisor, the employee is considered impaired, the employee will be sent home or to a medical facility by a safe transportation alternative--depending on the determination of the observed impairment-- and accompanied by the supervisor or another employee, if necessary. A drug or alcohol test may be in order. An impaired employee will not be allowed to drive. (Ord. #17/18-03, Jan. 2018)
