Alcohol at Work

Excerpted from Employee Handbook

Employees are prohibited from reporting for duty or remaining on duty with any alcohol in their systems. Employees are also prohibited from consuming alcohol during working hours, including meal and break periods.

Employees who arrive at work and are incapacitated or not able to fully perform the duties of their jobs due to prior excessive alcohol consumption will be sent home. The company reserves the right to determine whether or not the employee is incapacitated based on observation, circumstantial evidence, and/or eyewitness reports. Employees who have accrued PTO must use the PTO to cover their absence. Employees who do not have accrued PTO will not be paid and will earn an attendance incident for the absence. Other disciplinary actions may apply, up to and including termination.

Alcoholic drinks may be available at some Company functions. Employees are expected to act responsibly and not overindulge. Employees who do use alcohol are expected to have a designated driver and to be responsible for acting in a safe manner at all times.

See Employee Handbook for other information regarding substance abuse.
