Drug-Free Workplace Policy

You need to present your employees with a written document that states in no uncertain terms that company policy is to employ a workforce that is drug-free. Further, employees who violate this policy should first be offered professional assistance, then disciplined, or their employment terminated.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
A drug-free workplace policy should not only prevent substance abuse, but offer help to those who need it. An EAP allows you to provide employees (and their families) who use drugs or abuse alcohol access to professional help and counseling to overcome their problem. An important part of an EAP is education and training
for the workforce, organized labor representatives, and the supervisory staff. You can arrange this from EAP providers as a separate component.
