(EDITOR’S NOTE: By Ordinance O-04-069 Council adopted a “Drug-Free Work Program Policy” for all employees of the Village.)
The Village of North Kingsville prohibits the manufacturing, distribution, possession and use of alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, drug paraphernalia or any combination thereof, on any Village premises or work site; including the Village of North Kingsville vehicles or private vehicles parked on the Village of North Kingsville's property or work sites. Work site is defined to mean the site for the performance of work done in connection with employment by the Village of North Kingsville.
Employees taking prescribed or over-the-counter medications that may alter their work behavior or ability to perform their duties must report the use of these substances to their supervisors. Any employee taking prescribed medication that leaves him or her unable to perform their job responsibilities satisfactorily should request a leave of absence.
The Village of North Kingsville views a violation of this policy as a serious offense that will be investigated. The employee is expected to cooperate with that investigation. Violating this policy or refusing to cooperate in an investigation may result in discipline up to and including termination.
