DRUG & ALCOHOL FREE WORKPLACE POLICY Country Bill's Lawn Maintenance, Inc. is committed to protecting the safety, health and well being of all employees and individuals in our workplace. We recognize that alcohol abuse and drug use pose a significant threat to our goals. We have established a drug and alcohol-free workplace program that balances our respect for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol- and drug-free environment. Any individual who conducts business for the organization, is applying for a position, or is conducting business on the organization's property is covered by our drug and alcohol -free workplace policy. Our drug and alcohol -free workplace policy applies during all working hours and whenever conducting business or representing the organization. It is a violation of our drug and alcohol -free workplace policy to use, possess, sell, trade, and or offer the sale of alcohol, illegal drugs, or other intoxicants. If an individual violates the policy the consequences are serious and could result in his or her termination. It is on that note, Country Bill's Lawn Maintenance, Inc. has devised the following: 1. The manufacture, possession, distribution, or use of controlled substances is strictly prohibited. 2. Employees who violate the drug and alcohol -free workplace policy are subject to disciplinary action, which could result in his or her termination. As mandated by the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, any employee who is convicted of a drug or alcohol related offence must notify the organization in writing within five calendar days of the conviction. 4. If an employee receives such a conviction, Country Bill's Lawn Maintenance reserves the right to take appropriate personnel action against the employee, up to and including termination. A safe and productive drug and alcohol -free workplace is achieved through cooperation and shared responsibility. Both employees and management have important roles to play.
