This policy, written by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, provides a working framework for establishing rules and procedures that prohibit drug and alcohol use on company premises or in company vehicles.

Featured text from the policy:

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE

The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of legal drugs and alcohol have many numerous harmful effects and consequences on health and productivity. Employees are encouraged to visit the HR department for literature and training materials explaining those harmful consequences.

The company will assist and support employees who voluntarily ask for help with an addiction or potential addiction to drugs or alcohol. Employees will be allowed to take any accrued paid time off to seek treatment and/or rehabilitation. In addition, the employee may take a leave of absence to finish a necessary program as prescribed by law or medical professionals.
