Drug-Free Workplace
Policy
JEM is a community in which responsibilities and
freedoms are governed by policies and codes of behavior, including penalties for
violations of these standards as stated in your Employee Manual. JEM has a
standard of conduct which prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or
distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by employees on JEM’s site and/or
client sites or as a part of JEM’s activities. JEM will impose
disciplinary sanctions on employees ranging from educational and rehabilitation
efforts up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral
for prosecution for violations of the standards of conduct. Each situation will
be looked at on a case by case basis.
It is the goal of JEM to maintain a drug free
workplace. To that end, and in the spirit of the Drug Free Workplace Act of
1988, JEM has adopted the following policies.
1.
The unlawful manufacture, possession, distribution, or use of controlled
substances is prohibited in the workplace.
2.
Employees who violate this prohibition are subject to corrective or disciplinary
action as deemed appropriate, up to and including termination.
3.
As an on-going condition of employment, employees are required to abide by this
prohibition and to notify, in writing and within five (5) days of the violation,
his/her supervisor of any criminal drug status conviction they receive.
4.
If any employee receives such a conviction JEM shall take appropriate
personnel action against the employee, up to and including termination.
5.
JEM reserves the right to search and inspect for the maintenance of a safe
workplace.
