(A) Employees must as a condition of employment, abide by the terms of this chapter and report and conviction to the town under a criminal drug statute for violations occurring on or off town premises when conduction town business. Report of a conviction must be made to the town within five business days after the conviction. The town will then notify the appropriate contracting officer within ten days after receiving notice from either the employee or from another source. (These requirements are mandated by the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988).
(B) An employee who is involved with off the job illegal drug activity may be considered in violation of this chapter. In determining whether disciplinary action will be imposed for this activity, the town will consider the circumstance of each incident, including but not limited to any adverse effect the employee's actions may have on its customers, other employees, the public, or the town's reputation and image.
(C) Any questions regarding the reporting of violations should be directed to the Clerk-Treasurer.
