The county has a “zero tolerance” policy toward the consumption of alcohol or drugs by employees on duty or while on county property. The consumption of any amount of alcohol or illegal narcotics while an employee is on duty or on a periodic rest break or lunch break is prohibited.

In addition, this prohibition also applies to all county employees who are on county property, but not actively at work at the time.

In the case of employee usage, the employee will be subjected to immediate drug testing. If the investigator of the situation finds a county employee to be unlawfully manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, possession or using drugs or alcohol at the workplace, while performing work for the county, or on county property, the actions against the employee shall be in accord with § 38.175.

In addition, any situation that could involve a criminal offense shall be immediately reported to the County State’s Attorney’s Office for possible prosecution, independently of any action taken due to the individual’s status as a county employee. If appropriate, the county will also require the employee to satisfactorily participate in drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for those purposes by a federal, state or local health, law enforcement or other appropriate agency. The county will assist the employee in the selection of a drug counseling, treatment or rehabilitation program.
(4) As a condition of employment, a county employee will abide by the terms stated in this drug free workplace policy. Employees will notify the employer of any criminal drug statute conviction no later than five days after the conviction and participate in the county drug free awareness program. If the county receives notice from an employee of a conviction of a violation of a criminal drug statute, the county will take appropriate action against the employee up to and including termination of employment and/or provide employee assistance as stated above.
(D) All employees of the county shall conduct themselves in a courteous and professional manner.
