Common use of DECISION TO SCREEN FOR CAUSE Clause in Contracts

DECISION TO SCREEN FOR CAUSE. A supervisor who has probable cause to suspect an employee of substance abuse will immediately relieve the employee from his/her duties and will immediately notify the Chief, or Acting Chief, or the reasons he suspects substance abuse. Under no circumstances will such employee be permitted to operate a motor vehicle, equipment, or other machinery or be in possession of a firearm. The supervisor shall, before the end of the shift, complete and sign an “observation checklist” setting forth the facts upon which such supervisor relied. The Chief, or Acting Chief, will determine whether probable cause exists to warrant screening, and the determination will be based only upon reliable information as set forth in this program. If the Chief or Acting Chief determines that an employee must participate in the screening process, it will be by written order. The Chief, Acting Chief, or the employee’s supervisor will then telephone the Medical Provider to notify it that an employee is being transported for testing.
