Reasonable Suspicion Procedures

Updated August 2023 - Please note: HR is in the process of updating the Reasonable Suspicion Policy and Procedures. Please follow the below procedures in the meantime and reach out to your Disability Management Analyst with any questions.

If a manager suspects an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the workplace, they are responsible to direct the employee to submit to a drug or alcohol test to determine if the employee is fit for duty. The Administrative Policy Manual: 8-2 Reasonable Suspicion Policy will help you determine the need for a drug or alcohol test before you proceed with the steps below.
