As some of you may know,Academy Design received a phone call back on 2/10/2013 from Alberto Zamora who heads up the Sanitation Department for The City of Miami Beach. He asked me if Academy Design could take over approximently 60 temporary employees for his department because AIA Staffing could no longer continue to have them on their payroll.

We proceeded to sign up all of the temporary employees in the next 3 hours and they were then officially on our payroll&there have been no problems since that day! While we were signing up these temporary employee's I received a phone call from Martha Torres who at the time was working in the Public Works Department&she asked me if we could help her out and sign up&take on approximently 8 to 9 temporary employees who were working in her department.

Our substance abuse program is targeted at alleviating the problem at all levels. Our pledge to eradicate substance abuse in the work place reflects our firm belief that by building this commitment in the company, we will be strengthening our community. While Academy Design understands employees and applicants under a physician's care are required to use prescription drugs,abuse of prescribed medications will be dealt with in the same manner as the abuse of illegal substances. The ultimate goal of this policy is to balance our respect for individual privacy with our need to keep a safe productive drug-free environment. Our intention is to prevent substance abuse and to help and encourage those who use drugs or abuse alcohol to seek help in overcoming their problem. With these basic objectives in mind, the company has established the following policy, with regard to use, possession or sale of alcohol and drugs. 1. PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG TESTING POLICY As a condition of employment,all applicants at this company must agree to and sign a statement indicating that they will adhere to the Academy Design and Technical Services, Inc.,drug free work force program. Certain job applicants at this company will undergo screening for the presence of illegal drugs or alcohol as a condition for employment. These Applicants will be required to voluntarily submit to a urinalysis test at a laboratory chosen by the company, and by signing a consent agreement that will release the company from liability. The company will not discriminate against applicants for employment because of past abuse of drugs or alcohol. It is the current abuse of drugs or alcohol which prevents employees from properly performing their jobs that the company will not tolerate. 2. ACTIVE EMPLOYEE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TESTING POLICY Employees may be required to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing at a laboratory chosen by the company if there is a cause for reasonable suspicion of substance abuse. Circumstances that could be indicators of a substance abuse problem and considered reasonable suspicion are: 1. Observed alcohol or drug abuse during work hours on company or client company premises. 2.Apparent physical state of impairment. 3. Incoherent mental state. 4. Marked changes in personal behavior that are otherwise unexplainable. 5. Deteriorating work performance that is not attributable to other factors. 6. Accidents or other actions that provide reasonable cause to believe that employee may be under the influence. 3. DEFINITIONS • A.

"Illegal Drug" any drug (a) which is not legally obtainable: (b) which may be legally obtainable but not been legally obtained: or(c)which is being used in a manner or for a purpose other than as prescribed. 4. POLICY AND WORK RULE The company policy is to employ a work force free from use of illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol, either on or off the job. Any employee determined to be in violation of this policy is subject to disciplinary action,which may include termination, even for the first offense. It is a Standard of Conduct of employees of the Company, that employees shall not use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol. In order to maintain this Standard, the Company shall establish and maintain the programs and rules set forth below. 5. PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG ABUSE SCREENING The company will conduct pre-employment screening examinations when required for certain assignments designed to prevent hiring individuals who use illegal drugs or individuals whose use of legal drugs indicate a potential for impaired or unsafe job performance(see"Pre-employment Drug Testing Policy"). 6. DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE SCREENING FOR EMPLOYED PERSONNEL The company will maintain screening practices to identify employees who use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol, either on or off the job.

However, it is the responsibility of each employee to seek assistance form the Employee Referral Program before alcohol and drug problems lead to disciplinary actions. Once a voluntary basis will not necessarily lessen disciplinary action and may, in fact,have no bearing on the determination of appropriate disciplinary action. Using the ERP. Accordingly, the purposed and practices of this policy and the ERP are not in conflict but are distinctly separate in their applications.
