(A) If an employee’s positive test result has been confirmed, the employee is subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
(B) Factors to be considered in determining the appropriate disciplinary response include the employee’s work history, length of employment, current job performance and existence of past disciplinary actions. No disciplinary action may be taken against employees who voluntarily identify themselves as drug users, obtain counseling and rehabilitation through the city’s employee assistance program or other program sanctioned by the city, and thereafter refrain from violating the city’s policy on drug and alcohol abuse.
