(A) The town conducts random drug/alcohol testing for all employees performing safety-sensitive functions for the town. The town or its agents will submit all mandated employees to a computerized random selection system. The random selection system provides an equal chance for each employee to be selected each time random selection occurs. Random selection will be reasonably spread throughout the year. The town will drug test a minimum 50% of the average number of safety-sensitive/mandated positions in each calendar year. The town will select at a minimum 10% of the average number of safety-sensitive/mandated positions for random alcohol testing. Random selection, by its very nature, may result in employees being selected in successive selections or more than once a calendar year. Alternatively, some employees may not be selected in a calendar year.
(B) If an employee is selected at random for either drug or alcohol testing, the Town Manager will notify the employee. Once notified, every action the employee takes must lead to a collection. If the employee engages in conduct that does not lead to a collection as soon as possible after notification, such conduct may be considered a refusal to test.
