(A) Employees shall, as a condition of employment, abide by the terms of this subchapter and report to the town any arrests or convictions under a criminal drug statute for violations occurring on or off town property when conducting 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, being 21 U.S.C. §§ 701 et seq.)
(B) An employee who is involved with off the job illegal drug activity may be considered in violation of this subchapter. 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 action may have on its customers, other employees, the public, or the town’s reputation and image.
