Employee Drugs, Narcotics, Alcohol Policy - HR Policies & Procedures

Drugs, Narcotics, and Alcohol

The effects of employee drug and alcohol abuse on an organization can be widespread and difficult to eliminate. Substance abuse often increases absenteeism, accidents, health care costs, and workers’ compensation rates while lowering productivity. In addition, these problems demoralize employees who must continue to produce despite incapacitated or absent coworkers.
 
This policy attempts to deter drug and alcohol abuse through education, testing, disciplinary action, and required rehabilitation for abusers who want to continue working for the organization.
