There shall be no retroactive pay adjustment under such circumstance.

A.8 Wage Step Placement - The Association recognizes the Employer may find it necessary to hire individuals with current or prior experience in the classification of Commissioned Employee. Such lateral entry placement may be assigned to any step in the Classification wage rate structure in Appendix A.1 at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police or designee.

A.9 Pre-Academy Wage - The Association recognizes the Employer may find it necessary to hire individuals prior to Police Academy convening dates.

APPENDIX C
DRUG RELATED PROVISIONS

1. General Rule The employer and the Association jointly recognize the need for a drug free workplace and the appropriate use of drug testing. Tests are permitted when probable cause of unlawful drug use exists.

2. Testing Mechanisms - The following testing mechanism shall be used for any drug test performed on member of the Association:

a. Screening Test - Any screening test shall be performed using the Immunoassay (IA) method.

b. Positive Results – Any positive results on the initial screening test shall be confirmed through the use of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).

3. Procedures to be Used When the Sample is Given - The testing procedure shall be used whenever an employee is required to give a urine sample.

c. Listing of Drugs Taken - Prior to testing, the employee will be requested to list all drugs currently being used by the employee on a form to be supplied by the testing facility.

d. Sampling – A urine sample will be taken of the employee. The test shall be given in such a manner as to protect the authenticity and reliability of the sample and the privacy of the individual.

e. Tests - The sample will first be tested using the screening procedure set forth in 2.a. If the sample tests are positive for any prohibited drug, the confirmatory test specified in 2.b will be employed.

f. Procedure After Positive Results - If the confirmatory test is positive for the presence of an illegal drug, the employee will be notified of the positive result, and will be provided with copies of all documents pertinent to the test sent to or from the employer by the laboratory. The employee will then have the option of having the untested sample submitted to NIDA Certified lab of the employee’s own choosing, to be tested at the employee’s cost. If the retest results in a negative, the employer will reimburse the employee for all costs. The employer and employee will be given a copy of the results.

g. Documentation - Each step in collecting and processing of urine specimens shall be documented to establish procedural integrity and a chain of evidence.

h. Right of Access - The employer and any employee who test positive shall be given access to all written documentation available from the testing laboratory which verifies the accuracy of the equipment used in the testing process, the chain of custody of the specimen and the accuracy rate of the laboratory.

4. Limitation Or Action "First Offense" – Any action taken by the employer for a "first offense" shall be rehabilitative in nature (i.e., counseling referral, treatment.), except when the employee is involved in criminal activity.

5. Second Offense – Second or more offenses by an employee shall be subject disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

6. Informing Employees about Drug and Alcohol Testing - All employees shall be fully informed of the Employer’s drug and alcohol testing policy. Employees will be provided with information concerning the impact of the use of alcohol and drugs on job performance. In addition, the Employer shall inform the employees on how the tests are conducted, what the test can determine and the consequence of testing positive for drug use. All newly hired employees will be provided with this information on their initial date of hire. No employee shall be tested before this information is provided to him/her. Employees who voluntarily come forward and ask for assistance to deal with the drug or alcohol problem shall not be disciplined by the Employer for doing so. No disciplinary action will be taken against an employee unless he/she refuses the opportunity for rehabilitation, fails to complete a rehabilitation program successfully, or again tests positive for drugs after completing an appropriate program.

7. Employee Testing - Employees shall not be subjected to random medical testing involving urine or blood analysis or other similar or related tests for the purpose of discovering possible drug or alcohol abuse. If, however, objective evidence exists establishing probable cause to believe an employee’s work performance is impaired due to drug or alcohol abuse, the Employer will require the employee to undergo a medical test consistent with the conditions as set forth in the Policy.

a) In the event an employee is involved in an accident with serious injury requiring off-site medical treatment, or shooting incident, the employee may be ordered to submit to drug testing where surrounding circumstances provide an articulate suspicion that the employee is impaired.

b) "For Cause" (also known as "Reasonable Cause") is defined as work-related performance, behaviors and actions that a reasonable and prudent person would believe constitute a potential hazard, either to oneself or others which could indicate that an employee may be under the influence of an illegal drug, or may be abusing a prescription or over the counter (OTC) drug, or alcohol.

8. Sample Collection - The collection and testing of the samples shall be performed only by a laboratory and by a physician or health care professional qualified and authorized to administer and determine the meaning of any test results. The laboratory performing the test shall be one that is certified by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA). The laboratory chosen must be agreed to between the Association and the Employer. The laboratory used shall also be one whose procedures are periodically tested by NIDA where they analyze unknown samples sent to an independent party. The results of the employee tests shall be made available to the Medical Review Physician.

Collection of blood or urine samples shall be conducted in a manner which provides the highest degree of security for the sample and freedom from adulteration. Recognized strict chain of custody procedures must be followed for all samples as set by NIDA. The Association and the Employer agree that security of the biological urine and blood samples is absolutely necessary; therefore, the Employer agrees that if the security of the sample is compromised in any way, any positive test shall be invalid and may not be used for any purpose.

Blood or urine sample will be submitted as per NIDA Standards. Employees have the right for Association or legal counsel representatives, whichever is more readily accessible, to be present during the submission of the sample. Employees shall not be witnessed while submitting a urine specimen. Prior to submitting a urine or blood sample, the employee will be required to sign a consent and release form (as attached to this Policy).

A portion of the original sample will be separated by the lab in all cases for an independent analysis in the event of a positive test result. All samples must be stored in a scientific acceptable preserved manner as established by NIDA. All positive confirmed samples and related paperwork must be retained by the laboratory for at least twelve (12) months or for the duration of any grievance disciplinary action or legal proceedings, whichever is longer. At the conclusion of this period, the paperwork and specimen shall be destroyed. Tests shall be conducted in a manner as to ensure that an employee’s legal drug use and diet does not affect the test results.

9. Drug Testing - The laboratory shall test for only the substances and within the limits as follows for the initials and confirmation test as provided within NIDA standards. The initial test shall use an immunoassay which meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration for commercial distribution. The following initial cutoff levels shall be used when screening specimens to determine whether they are negative for drugs or classes of drugs.

The Medical Review Physician shall be familiar with the characteristics of test (sensitivity, specificity and predictive value), the laboratories running the tests and the medical conditions and work exposures of the employee.

The role of the Medical Review Physician will be to review and interpret the positive test results. He must examine the alternate medical explanations for any positive test results. This action shall include conducting a medical review of any other relevant biomedical factors. The Medical Review Physician must review all medical records made available by the tested employee when a confirmed positive test could have resulted from legally prescribed medication.

11. Laboratory Results - The laboratory will advise only the employee and the Medical Review Physician of the positive results. The results of a positive drug or alcohol test can only be released to the Employer by the Medical Review Physician once he has completed his review and analysis of the laboratory’s test. The Employer will be required to keep the results confidential and it shall not be released to the general public.

12. Testing Program Costs - The Employer shall pay for all costs involving drug and alcohol testing as well as the expenses involved with the Medical Review Physician. The Employer shall also reimburse each employee for their time and expenses including travel incurred involved in the testing procedure only, if outside normal shift schedule.

13. Association Held Harmless – This drug and alcohol testing program was initiated at the request of the Employer. The Employer assumes the sole responsibility for the administration of this Policy and shall be solely liable for any legal obligations and costs arising out of the provisions and/or application of this collective bargaining agreement relating to drug and alcohol testing. The Association shall be held harmless for the violation of any employee rights arising from the administration of the drug and alcohol testing programs.

14. Changes in Testing Procedures - The parties recognize that during the life of this Agreement, there may be improvements in the technology of testing procedures which provide more accurate testing. In that event, the parties will bargain in good faith whether to amend this procedure to include such improvements. If the parties are unable to agree on the amendments they will be submitted to dispute resolution procedures as agreed upon in this contract.

15. Conflict with other Laws - This Article is in no way intended to supersede or waive any constitutional or other rights that the employee may be entitled to, or legal rights and obligations that the Employer may have, under Federal, State or local statutes.
