The Town of Sellersburg prohibits employees from unlawfully manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, selling, transferring, using, or possessing any illegal controlled substance or alcohol on town premises while working. Any employee found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. The town reserves the right to require applicants and employees to consent to a drug and alcohol test. No testing will be performed without an applicant’s or employee’s written consent.
(B) Pre-employment testing. The town requires applicants for employment to submit to a drug screen prior to starting work. The drug test is a pre-employment, post-offer requirement. Candidates found to have a positive drug screening will be subject to additional medical review and, based on the findings, may not be considered for employment.
(C) Post-accident testing. In the event of a workplace accident or injury, the town may determine that it is necessary to conduct a post-accident drug and or alcohol screening. The employee’s supervisor will accompany the employee to the designated testing site. Refusal to submit to the test or a positive result on such a test, is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
(D) Reasonable suspicion. The company may ask you to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test when there is reason to believe that you are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, while at work. Refusal to submit to such testing, or a positive result on such a test, is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
