Family & Consumer Sciences

June 2020

Greetings from UT-TSU Extension Warren County. What an interesting time the last three months have been. Like everyone, we have had to adjust our work environments and education activities due to the COVID-19 Corona virus. Extension personnel never stopped working just learned to work from remote locations as the office closed down in the middle of March. Starting May 19, we began to reopen the office with one staff member on location each day. This was Phase One of a four-phase process as provided by our state Extension leaders. We will move through the phases dependent upon COVID-19 cases/trends and following recommended guidelines. I encourage you to like us on Facebook at UT TSU Extension Warren County and check our website at warren.tennessee.edu. Following are highlights of quarterly programming efforts in the areas of family and consumer sciences, agriculture, community resource development, and 4-H youth development. Family and Consumer Sciences Arthritis Exercise

Scheduled 16 sessions and was able to conduct one introductory class in early March. The program featured warm-

ups, joint-safe exercises, cool-downs, and relaxation techniques

Co-parenting

Changed this state-mandated four-hour course to an online format (Zoom) in May. Five participants were involved in the pilot program. Separating parents of minor children learned ways to effectively co-parent while living in separate households and keeping their children out of the middle of adult conflict.

Family and Community Education (fce) Clubs

Efforts were made through phone calls and zoom meetings to keep members involved in fce efforts even though monthly meetings were discontinued.

TAFCE Masks of Love Project – 4 fce members sewed 369 face masks for a state-wide project to give to health care workers. Additional volunteers also worked the project along with giving masks to numerous friends, family members and neighbors.

Warren County fce County Council gave a college scholarship to Jose Hernandez as a graduating senior of Warren County High School.

Naomi Smith of the Vinson’s Crossroads fce club was selected as Warren County’s nominee for the Best-of-the-Best state-wide program.

Social Media and Other Online Efforts

While working from home, agent had trainings on various social media platforms and posting efforts on Extension Facebook page

Agriculture

Heath Nokes, Extension Agent

The New Normal

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

and subsequent working from home

directives, the agriculture and natural

resources Extension programs have

transformed. Fortunately, many of our

spring group meetings were already

finished or rapidly completing. However,

we were forced to suspend one final

class of the Master Gardener Intern

Class and the Master Beef Producers’

Program. Both of these programs will be

completed later this fall. We are still

receiving many calls for assistance with

regard to home gardening and

landscape questions. It appears this is a

trend prevalent with Extension

throughout the state and nation during

the safer at home policies throughout

the nation.

Restricted-Use Pesticide Private

Applicator Cards

As those who use restricted-use

pesticides are very much aware, the

pandemic has destroyed our schedule of

recertification meetings. Thankfully, the

Tennessee Department of Agriculture

has extended the expiration date for all

certifications until September 30, 2020.

Currently, all group meetings are

suspended through July to ensure

everyone’s safety.

Dreaded Change

Instead of dropping by the office or

having meetings, we have been forced

to be reliant on technology. In order to

meet the educational needs of our

audience the Master Dairy program has

went to an all online format. In an effort

to provide guidance to our new

gardening audience, a series of

educational videos have been produced

regarding agricultural chemicals. Please

check out our UT-TSU Extension Warren

County Facebook page for links to other

videos covering everything from bees to

forage production.

Variety Trials and other happenings

Once again this year we are planning to

conduct our UT Standardized Variety

Trials. Currently, we are looking for

some dry weather to get in the fields to

get the plots planted. We will have a

corn variety plot, and two soybean

plots. We are excited to have a soybean

plot utilizing both the Dicamba and

Liberty-link herbicide traits. In addition

to the corn and bean plots, we are

excited to collaborate with Dr. Larry

Steckel to implement a herbicide trial

for resistant weeds. Last year Dr. Steckel

collected some weed seed to germinate

to determine resistance. What he found

was that we now have Dicamba-

resistant pigweed and junglerice. The

information learned in this trial could be

an invaluable resource as more and

more weeds are developing resistance.

Answers to anonymous complaints will be posted upon bulletin boards or other places of common passage where the anonymous complaint may be reasonably expected to be seen by the complainant for a period of three (3) working days.

c. If the complainant finds the reply not satisfactory because it was held to be invalid, the corrective action is felt to be insufficient, or the time period for correction is felt to be too long, he may forward a letter to the County Executive or to the governing body explaining the condition(s) cited in his original complaint and why he believes the answer to be inappropriate or insufficient.

d. The County Executive or a representative of the governing body will evaluate the complaint and will begin to take action to correct or abate the condition(s) through arbitration or administrative sanctions or may find the complaint to be invalid. An answer will be sent to the complainant within ten (10) working days following receipt of the complaint or the next regularly scheduled meeting of the governing body following receipt of the complaint explaining decisions made and action taken or to be taken.

prior to their entry into such an area and shall require use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

XI. GENERAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES

It is the intention of the governing body and responsible officials to have an Occupational Safety and Health Program Plan that will insure the welfare of employees. In order to be aware of hazards, periodic inspections must be performed. These inspections will enable the finding of hazards or unsafe conditions or operations that will need correction to maintain safe and healthful worksites. Inspections made on a pre-designated basis may not yield the desired results. Inspections will be conducted, therefore, on a random basis at intervals not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days.

a. In order to carry out the purposes of this Resolution, the Safety Coordinator and/or Compliance Inspector(s), if appointed, is authorized:

1. To enter at any reasonable time, any establishment, facility, or worksite where work is being performed by an employee when such establishment, facility, or worksite is under the jurisdiction of the employer and;

2. To inspect and investigate during regular working hours and at other reasonable times, within reasonable limits, and in a reasonable manner, any such place of employment and all pertinent conditions, processes, structures, machines, apparatus, devices, equipment, and materials therein, and to question privately any supervisor, operator, agent, or employee working therein.

b. If an imminent danger situation is found, alleged, or otherwise brought to the attention of the Safety Coordinator or Inspector during a routine inspection, he shall immediately inspect the imminent danger situation in accordance with Section XII of this plan before inspecting the remaining portions of the establishment, facility, or worksite.

c. An administrative representative of the employer and a representative authorized by the employees shall be given an opportunity to consult with and/or to accompany the Safety Coordinator during the physical inspection of any worksite for the purpose of aiding such inspection.

d. The right of accompaniment may be denied any person whose conduct interferes with a full and orderly inspection.

e. The conduct of the inspection shall be such as to preclude unreasonable disruptions of the operation(s) of the workplace.

f. Interviews of employees during the course of the inspection may be made when such interviews are considered essential to investigative techniques.

g. Advance Notice of Inspections.

1. Generally, advance notice of inspections will not be given as this precludes the opportunity to make minor or temporary adjustments in an attempt to create misleading impression of conditions in an establishment.

2. There may be occasions when advance notice of inspections will be necessary in order to conduct an effective inspection or investigation. When advance notice of inspection is given, employees or their authorized representative(s) will also be given notice of the inspection.

52

3. As soon as it is concluded from such inspection that conditions or practices exist which constitutes an imminent danger, the Safety Coordinator shall attempt to have the danger corrected. All employees at the location shall be informed of the danger and the supervisor or person in charge of the worksite shall be requested to remove employees from the area, if deemed necessary.

4. The administrative or operational head of the workplace in which the imminent danger exists, or his authorized representative, shall be responsible for determining the manner in which the imminent dangersituation will be abated. This shall be done in cooperation with the Safety Coordinator or Compliance Inspector and to the mutual satisfaction of all parties involved.

5. The imminent danger shall be deemed abated if:

i. The imminence of the danger has been eliminated by removal of employees from the area of danger.

ii. Conditions or practices which resulted in the imminent danger have been eliminated or corrected to the point where an unsafe condition or practice no longer exists.

6. A written report shall be made by or to the Safety Coordinator describing in detail the imminent danger and its abatement. This report will be maintained by the Safety Coordinator in accordance with subsection (i) of Section XI of this plan.

It is our policy to fulfill our equal opportunity commitment in all employment areas, including recruitment, hiring, upgrading, training, compensation, and other benefits.

The continued success and progress of Warren County requires that we provide efficient and quality services at the lowest possible costs to the taxpayers. It is imperative, therefore that the most qualified individuals are employed and appropriately placed to utilize their maximum potential.

Individual ability is to be determined by job training, work experience education, work performance and personal characteristics which bear upon the requirements of the immediate job and future jobs to which the individual may progress.

GETTING ACQUAINTED

You were selected for your job with Warren County because we believe you have the qualifications required. During the first six months or “probationary period” you are encouraged to ask questions and evaluate your job and the opportunities you will have as a part of the County work force. Continual progress should occur during the probationary period. Lack of improvement may cause the probationary period to be abbreviated. If you or the Department Head determine that your abilities are not commensurate with the job requirements, termination may occur at any stage of the probationary period.

During the six months probationary period, employees are not eligible for benefits such as holiday pay, medical or personal leave, etc. Probationary employees are eligible for Death-In-Family Pay, Jury Duty Pay and Military leave.

Temporary employees may be hired for pre-determined assignments for pre-determined periods of time. Temporary employees are not eligible for benefits and do not accrue seniority. Should conditions warrant, temporary employees may be re-classified as regular or full-timeemployees and build seniority and benefit privileges as do other employees.

CONTINUOUS SERVICE

The continuous service of an employee shall consist of the length of unbroken employment with the County. It starts when an employee has completed a six-month probation period and shall date from the time they were first hired. It is a fair way to give employment

75

10 | P a g e

(b) A female employee who is prevented from giving three (3) months’ advance notice because of a medical emergency which necessitates that maternity leave begin earlier than originally anticipated, shall not forfeit her rights and benefits under this part solely because of her failure to give three (3) months’ advance notice.

3) (a) Maternity leave will be without pay. Maternity leave shall not affect the employee’s right to receive vacation time, sick leave, bonuses, advancement, seniority, length of service credits, benefits, plans, or programs for which she was eligible at the date of her leave, and any other benefits or rights of her employment incident to her employment position; provided, however, that the employer need not provide for the cost of any benefits, plans or programs during the period of maternity leave unless such employer so provides for all employees on leave of absence.

FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE POLICY

Purpose: To provide a family and medical leave policy in compliance with Public Law 103-3, titled Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.

Guideline:

1) Definitions:

a) Eligible Employee: Eligible employees are those who have been employed for at least twelve (12) months, who have provided at least one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours of service during the twelve (12) months before leave is requested, and who work at a worksite where at least fifty (50) employees are on the payroll (either at that site or within a seventy-five (75) mile radius).

b) Parent: Mother or Father of an employee, or an adult who had day to day responsibility for caring for the employee during his childhood years in place of the naturel parents.

c) Son or Daughter/Child: Biological, adopted or foster child a stepchild, legal ward, or child of a person standing in loco parentis, who are under the age of eighteen (18) years. Children who are eighteen (18) years or older qualify, if he or she is incapable of self-care because of mental or physical disability.

d) Serious Health Condition: An illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition involving either inpatient care or continuing treatment by a health care provider. Examples of serious health conditions include but are not limited to heart attacks, hear conditions requiring heart bypass or valve operations, most cancers, back conditions requiring extensive therapy or surgical procedures, strokes, severe respiratory conditions, spinal injuries, severe arthritis, etc.

2) Leave Provisions:

a) An eligible employee may take up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid leave in a twelve (12) month period for the birth of a child or the placement of a child for adoption or foster care. Under the Tennessee Maternity Leave Act, a female employee may take an additional four (4) weeks of unpaid leave if the three (3) months advance notice has been compiled with. Leave may also be taken to care for a child, spouse, or a parent who has a serious health condition.

b) The right to take leave applies equally to male and female employees who are eligible.

77

Page 78: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

12 | P a g e

c) Unpaid leave for the purposes of care for a newborn child or a newly placed adopted or foster care child must be taken before the end of the first twelve (12) months following the date of birth or placement.

d) An expectant mother may take unpaid medical leave upon the birth of the child, or prior to the birth of her child for necessary medical care and if her condition renders her unable to work. Similarly, for adoption or foster care, leave may be taken upon the placement of the child or leave may begin prior to the placement if absence from work is required for the placement to proceed.

e) An employee may take unpaid leave to care for a parent or spouse of any age who, because of a serious mental or physical condition, is in the hospital or other health care facility. An employee may also take leave to care for a spouse or parent of any age who is unable to care for his or her own basic hygiene, nutritional needs, or safety. Examples include a parent or spouse whose daily living activities are impaired by such conditions as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or who is recovering from major surgery, or who is in final stages of terminal illness.

f) Eligible employees, who are unable to perform the functions of the position held because of a serious health condition, may request up to twelve (12) weeks unpaid leave. The term “serious health condition” is intended to cover conditions or illnesses that affect an employee’s health to the extent that he or she must be absent from work on a recurring basis or for more than a few days for treatment or recovery.

g) Employees requesting medical leave due to their own illness or injury must use any balance of sick leave, annual leave, floating holidays prior to unpaid leave beginning. The employer requires the use of available paid leave. The combination of sick leave, annual leave, floating holidays, and unpaid leave may not exceed twelve (12) weeks. Employees requesting family leave must use unpaid leave. The employer requires annual leave, floating holidays, and other paid leave to be taken first. The combination of annual leave, floating holidays and unpaid leave may not exceed twelve (12) weeks.

h) During periods of unpaid leave, an employee will not accrue any additional seniority or similar employment benefits during the leave period.

i) If spouses are employed by the same employer and wish to take leave for the care of a new child or sick parent, their aggregate leave is limited to twelve (12) weeks. For example, if the father takes eight (8) weeks of leave to care for a child, the mother would be entitled to four (4) weeks leave, for a total of twelve weeks (12) weeks of leave.

3) Notification and Scheduling:

78

Page 79: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

13 | P a g e

a) An eligible employee must provide the employer at least thirty (30) days advance notice of the need for birth, adoption, or planned medical treatment, when the need for leave is foreseeable. This thirty (30) day advance notice is not required in cases of medical emergency or other unforeseen events, such as premature birth, or sudden changes in a patient’s condition that require a change in scheduled medical treatment.

b) Parents who are awaiting the adoption of a child and are given little notice of the availability of the child may also be exempt from this thirty (30) day notice.

4) Certification:

a) The employer reserves the right to verify an employee’s request for family/medical leave.

b) If an employee requests leave because of a serious health condition or to care for a family member with a serious health condition, the employer requires that the request be supported by certification issued by the health care provider of the eligible employee or the family member as appropriate. If the employer has reason to question the original certification, the employer may, at the employer’s expense require a second opinion from a different health care provider chosen by the employer. That health care provider may not be employed by the employer on a regular basis. If a resolution of the conflict cannot be obtained from by a second opinion, a third opinion may be obtained from another provider and that opinion will be final and binding.

c) This certification must contain the date on which the serious health condition began, its’ probable duration, and appropriate medical facts within the knowledge of the health care provider regarding the condition. The certification must also state the employee’s need to care for the son, daughter, spouse, or parent and must include an estimate of the amount of time that the employee is needed to care for the family member.

d) Medical certifications given will be treated as confidential and privileged information.

e) An employee will be required to report periodically to the employer the status and the intention of the employee to return to work.

f) Employees who have taken unpaid leave under this policy must furnish the employer with a medical certification from the employee’s health care provider that the employee is able to resume work before return is granted.

5) Maintenance of Health and COBRA Benefits During Unpaid Leave:a) The employer will maintain health insurance benefits, paid by the employer

for the employee, during periods of unpaid leave without interruption. Any payment for family coverage/s premiums, or other payroll deductible insurance policies, must be paid by the employee or the benefits may not be continued.

b) The employer has the right to recover from the employee all health insurance premiums paid during the unpaid leave period if the employee fails to return to work after leave. Employees who fail to return to work because they are unable to perform the functions of their job because of their own serious health condition or because of the continued necessity of caring for a seriously ill family member may be exempt from the recapture provision.

c) Leave taken under this policy does not constitute a qualifying event that entitles an employee to COBRA insurance coverage. However, the qualifying event triggering COBRA coverage may occur when it becomes clearly known that an employee will not be returning to work, and therefore ceases to be entitled to leave under this policy.

6) Reduced and Intermittent Leave:

a) Leave taken under this policy can be take intermittently of on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary as certified by the health care provider. Intermittent or reduced leave schedules for routine care of a new child can be taken only with approval of the employer. The schedule must be mutually agreed upon by the employee and the employer.

b) Employees on intermittent or reduced leave schedules may be temporarily transferred by the employer to an equivalent alternate position that may better accommodate the intermittent or reduced leave schedule.

c) Intermittent or reduced leave may be spread over a period of time longer than twelve (12) weeks but will not exceed the equivalent of twelve (12) workweeks total leave in one twelve (12) month period.

7) Restoration:

a) Employees who are granted leave under this policy will be reinstated to an equivalent of the same position held prior to the commencement of their leave.

b) Certain highly compensated key employees, who are salaried and among the 10% highest paid employees, may be denied restoration. Restoration may be denied if (A)

the employer shows that such denial is necessary to prevent substantial and grievous economic injury to the employer’s operations, (B) the employer notifies the employee that it intends to deny restoration on such basis at the time the employer determines that such injury would occur, and (C) in any case in which the leave has commenced, the employee elects not to return to work within a reasonable period of time after receiving such notice.

8) The 12-Month FMLA Period:

The twelve (12) month period during which an employee is entitled to twelve (12) workweeks of FMLA leave is measured forward from the date the employee’s first FMLA leave begins. An employee is entitled to twelve (12) weeks of leave during the twelve (12) month period after the leave begins. He next twelve (12) months period will begin the first time the employee requests FMLA leave after the completion of the previous twelve (12) month period.

WAGE AND HOUR POLICIES

WORKWEEK

The workweek for employees of Warren County begins at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday and ends at 12:00 midnight on Saturday each week. The regular workweek for Warren County employees is thirty-eight (38) hours. Employees who are paid on an hourly basis will receive compensation at their regular rate of pay for all hours worked up to and including forty (40) in the workweek. The salary paid to salaried employees is compensation for all hours worked by such employees up to and including forty (40 in the workweek. The actual work schedule for each employee will be arranged by that employee’s supervisor.

OVERTIME

“Overtime” is defined as time worked more than forty (40) hours in a workweek. Non-exempt employees, as defined herein, who work over forty (40) hours in a workweek are entitled to compensation for such hours either in cash at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, or (with a prior agreement or understanding between the employer and employee) compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half hour for each hour of overtime worked. Employees shall not work overtime without first receiving the approval of their supervisor. Any employee who works overtime without obtaining advance approval of the supervisor as required may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

COMPENSATORY TIME

Compensatory time may be given to those employees who work overtime as provided in the section on “Overtime” and with whom the County has a prior agreement or understanding that the employee will accept compensatory time in lieu of cash payment for overtime. Employees are encouraged to use their accrued compensatory time, and the County will make every effort to grant reasonable requests for the use of compensatory time when sufficient advance notice is given, and the workplace is not unduly disrupted. The maximum number of compensatory time hours that employees in public safety, or emergency response may accrue is four hundred eighty (480) hours – which represents three hundred twenty (320) hours of overtime work. Other employees may accrue up to two hundred forty (240) hours – which represents one hundred sixty (160) hours of actual overtime worked. Any employee who has reached this maximum shall not work any additional overtime until the employee’s accrued compensatory time has fallen below the maximum allowed, unless the employee receives advance written authorization and receives payment in cash for any such additional overtime. The County reserves the right at any time to pay an employee in cash for any or all accrued compensatory time.

TIME RECORDS

83

Page 84: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

18 | P a g e

Employees are required to record their hours worked on the forms for this purpose. Both,exempt and non-exempt employees are required to fill in this form daily, and at the end of the workweek, sign and forward them to your supervisor for review and processing. Please ensure that your actual hours worked and leave time taken are recorded accurately. Falsifying these records is a crime under T.C.A. #39-16-504.

OVERTIME RATE

An employee who works overtime will receive overtime pay at the rate of time and one-half. An employee’s annual salary divided by fifty-two (52) weeks determines his weekly salary. The weekly salary is then divided by the number of hours in a normal workweek to determinethe regular hourly rate of pay. The rate will be multiplied by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate of pay which will be paid for all hours worked over forty (40) during a week unlesscompensatory time is given. No additional compensation will be paid for hours worked under forty (40).

CHILD LABOR PROVISIONS

The child labor provisions of FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) are designed to protect the educational opportunities of minors and prohibit their employment in jobs and under conditions detrimental to their health or well-being. Warren County strictly adheres to this policy.

EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THE FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act)

The FLSA is applicable to employees of counties, including full-time and part-time employees unless specifically exempted by some other provision of the law. The simple payment of a salary in lieu of an hourly wage, without complying with the other requirements for specific exemptions, will not remove an employee from the provisions of the FLSA.

TRAINING PROGRAMS

Attending an independent trade school or pursuing a correspondence course outside regular working hours is not compensable work, regardless of whether it is job-related. Taking courses in a public school or training in a government-sponsored on-the-job training program is not compensable if outside regular working hours.

TRAVEL TIME

The employer generally is not responsible for time spent by the employee in traveling from home to the place of principal activity (home-to-work). Traveling by an employee from one jobsite during the workday is compensable work. Travel from an outlying job at the end of the scheduled workday to the employer’s premises is compensable.

EXEMPTIONS

84

Page 85: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

19 | P a g e

Individuals who hold “public elective office” are exempt from FLSA minimum wage and overtime provisions. This exemption applies to individuals who meet the following requirements:

1) The individual is not subject to civil service laws of the State, or political subdivision; and

2) Holds a public elective office of that State or political subdivision; or

3) Is appointed by an officeholder to serve on a policymaking level or as an immediate adviser with respect to the constitutional or legal powers of the office.

When a publicly elected official appoints an individual to serve on a policy-making board or commission, such an appointed individual is not covered by the FLSA.

A volunteer is an individual who performs a service for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons, without promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation. These services must be offered freely and without pressure or coercion, direct or implied, from the employer. Individuals performing volunteer services for Warren County will not be regarded as employees for purposes of the FLSA.

Prisoners who are required to work by or for the government are not considered employees under the FLSA and need not be paid minimum wages or overtime. Inmate labor must be work for or is required work by the government having custody of the prisoner. If inmates are contracted out, this creates an employment relationship requiring the payment of wages in accordance with the FLSA.

The FLSA provides an exemption for three groups of employees, known as the “white collar exemptions”. These exemptions include “executive”, “administrative”, and “professional” employees (EAP), as defined by the FLSA. Even though “white collar” employees are excluded from the provisions about minimum wage and overtime, such employees are not exempt from the equal pay provisions and some of the record-keeping provisions. To qualify for one of these exemptions, an employee must meet each requirement established by the FLSA.

TIME OF PAYMENT

Payment of both regular wage and overtime compensation due to an employee must ordinarily be made at the regular payday for the workweek, or when the pay period covers more than a single week, at the regular payday for the period in which the particular workweek ends. In cases where overtime hours cannot be ascertained in the last workweek of the pay period, overtime payment should not be delayed in no event later than the next payday after such computation can be made.

MINIMUM WAGE PROVISIONS

85

Page 86: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

20 | P a g e

Every covered, non-exempt worker is entitled to a minimum wage of not less than the amount currently in effect as established by Federal Law. An employee may be paid weekly, monthly, or some other basis as long as the employee receives at least the current minimum wage for each hour actually worked. Employees may be paid a salary in lieu of hourly compensation so long as the salary meets minimum wage and overtime requirements.

DEDUCTIONS

Deductions will be made to wages for the employee’s share of social security, federal, state, or local taxes, levies, or assessments, without affecting the minimum wage rate. No deduction can be made for any tax which the law requires to be borne by Warren County. If the employer (Warren County) is required by court order to pay monies from wages to a third party under garnishment, wage attachment, or bankruptcy proceedings, such deductions from wages are permissible so long as the employer nor anyone acting on the employer’s behalf derives any profit or benefit from the transaction. Deductions from wages for such items as tools, uniforms, mandatory funding of retirement or insurance plans are not legal to the extent they reduce the wages of employees below the minimum wage or cut into overtime compensation required by FLSA.

PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES

Public safety personal includes employees engaged in law enforcement activities. FLSA allows the establishment of longer work periods than seven (7) day workweeks for public safety employees of state and local governments. Since these special rules are limited to public agencies, they do not apply in cases in which public safety services are provided to a county under a contract with a private organization.

LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL

The term “any employee in law enforcement activities” refers to any employee who:

1) Is uniformed or plainclothes member of a body of officers and subordinates who are empowered by State statute or local ordinance to enforce laws designed to maintain public peace and order and to protect both life and property from accidental or willful injury, and to prevent and detect crimes;

2) Has the power to arrest;

3) Is presently undergoing or has undergone or will undergo on-the-job training and/or a course of instruction or study which typically includes physical training, self-defense, firearm proficiency, criminal and civil law principles, investigative and law enforcement techniques, community relations, medical aid and ethics.

86

Page 87: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

21 | P a g e

Employees who meet these tests are considered to be engaged in law enforcement activities regardless of their rank or their status as “trainee, “probationary”, or “permanent”, and regardless of their assignment to duties incidental to the performance of their law enforcement activities, such as vehicle or equipment maintenance or support activities. Employees who do not meet each of the above three tests are not engaged in “law enforcement activities”. Not included in the term “law enforcement activities”, are the so called “civilian” employees who engage in support activities such as dispatchers, radio operators, clerks, repair workers, culinary services, teaching psychological, medical, or paramedical services. “Any employee in law enforcement activities” does not include “security personnel in correctional institutions.” A correctional institution is any governmental facilities maintained as part of a penal system for incarceration or detention of persons suspected or convicted of having breached the peace or committed a crime.

Trainees’ attendance at a bona fide police academy when required by Warren County, constitutes engagement in activities only when the employee meets all the applicable tests (except for the power of arrest). If the applicable tests are met, then basic or advanced training is considered incidental to, and part of, the employee’s law enforcement activities.

Law enforcement employees who, at their own option, perform special duty work in law enforcement or related activity for a separate and independent employee (public or private) during their off-duty hours, the hours of work for the separate and independent employer are not combined with the hours worked for the County for purpose of overtime compensation.

COMPENSABLE HOURS

Compensable time is the hours of work for which an employee must be paid under the FLSA. Hours of work include all times during which the employee is on duty or on the employer’s premises available for work or time spent away from the employer’s premises under conditions which prevent the employee from using the time for personal activities. The employer or management must make certain that overtime work it does not want performed is not in fact performed. An employee who is required by the employer to be on duty for less than twenty-four (24) hours is working for purposes of the FLSA even though permitted to sleep or engage in other personal activities when not busy. It makes no difference that an employee is furnished sleeping facilities. There is no sleep time exclusion. Where the employer has elected the special tour of duty rules for law enforcement employees, sleep time cannot be excluded from compensable hours of work, where the employee is on duty for less than twenty-four (24) hours, or were the employee is on duty for exactly twenty-four (24) hours.

Whether or not the time an employee is on call counts as compensable time depends upon the employee’s freedom while on call. An employee who is not required to remain on the employer’s premises and is free to engage in his/her own pursuits, subject only to the understanding that the employee leave word at his/her home or with the employer where he/she can be reached by the employer is not working while “on call”.

87

Page 88: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

22 | P a g e

The FLSA requires compensation for all time during which employees are required to wait while on duty even if allowed to leave the job site. Waiting periods are usually of such short duration that the employees cannot use them for their own benefit. Employees who wait before starting their duties because they arrived at the place of employment earlier than the required time are not entitled to be paid for the waiting time. Generally, periods which an employee is completely relieved from duty and which are long enough to enable the employee to use the time effectively for his/her own purposes are not hours worked.

Compensable hours continue to accumulate during times of furlough or modified work schedules when associated with a pandemic event which requires implementation of the full Warren County Pandemic Plan. Individual department managers are responsible for tracking work product and time out of the office for pandemic occurrences.

A Department of Labor letter dated January 2, 1987 addressed the issue of overtime compensation where police officers trade or substitute time with one another and whether it would be permissible for an officer to have part of the officer’s accrued comp time hours transferred to another officer’s comp time to repay for trading time. Such a transfer would not be permissible under the regulations because it would require the employer to maintain a separate recordkeeping system, which is specifically not required by the FLSA.

From time to time, notices prescribed by the Wage and Hour Division must be posted and kept posted in conspicuous places in every establishment where employees work so as to permit them to read notices on the way to or from their place of employment. This poster briefly outlines the FLSA basic requirements.

The Warren County Commission has ultimate responsibility for approving the continuance of pay under Pandemic Plan implementation and any other condition not specifically addressed by the FLSA requirements.

shall be no discrimination in terms of employment opportunities, wages, hours of work, or other conditions of employment or benefits.

b. job restructuring, job sharing, or modified work schedule, acquisition or modification of equipment or devices and other similar actions.

In determining whether an accommodation would impose undue hardship on the operation of the department, factors to be considered include:

a. the overall size of the specific work area or program with respect to the number of employees and budget,

b. the type of operation, and

c. the nature and cost of the accommodation needed.

5. Accessibility

Each department is required periodically to survey their programs and physical facilities to determine if they are accessible to persons with disabilities. If structural problems are found, it is the responsibility of Warren County to budget for changes. Non-structural problems requiring some form of reasonable accommodation will beaddressed on an individual basis. The ADA Coordinator will provide technical assistance in areas of accessibility related to employment.

III. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

A complaint of discrimination as outlined in the Guidelines on Discrimination, including a complaint of sexual harassment, may be filed according to the steps defined below. A complaint should initially be filed according to the steps defined below. A complaint should initially be filed within twenty (20) working days of the occurrence or reasonable knowledge of the alleged discrimination. If it is a continuing problem, the complainant should state when I began and the progression to the time of the complaint. A complaint may be filed by a current employee or by an applicant, and by an individual or a group of people. Any complainant shall have the right to choose one representative to be with him or she at all stages of the complaint procedure. Confidentiality will be maintained during the complaint procedure, to the degree allowed by law. Reprisal or retaliation against the complainant or witnesses participating in the investigation is prohibited and is grounds for disciplinary action.

A. Although individuals are encouraged to try to settle problems on an informal basis, any employee or applicant who feels that he or she has been subjected to discrimination may file a complaint with his or her supervisor. The supervisor shall try to remedy any actual or perceived problem without the necessity of additional formal procedures. The supervisor shall inform the complainant of his or her decision within five (5) working days. If the complaint is not resolved at this level, the complainant may proceed to Step 2 as long as the complainant does so within ten (10) working

33 | P a g e

days of receiving the supervisor’s decision. If the supervisor is the offending party, or if the employee feels that the supervisor will not or cannot objectively handle the complaint, the employee should file the complaint in accordance with Step B.

B. A complaint of discrimination may be filed, in writing, with the department head or his or her designee. (If the department head is the alleged offending party, the individual should file the complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator for Warren County as set out in Step C). The department head or designee after thorough investigation, should take the necessary steps to correct any problem found to exist. Such correction may include disciplinary action against an offending employee, especially if the charge involves harassment. The departmental investigation shall be completed within twenty (20) working days, with an extension of an additional twenty (20) working days if needed. The department head shall notify the complaining party of his or her decision within ten (10) working days following the conclusion of the investigation. If the department head feels that the charges warrant a third-party investigation, or if the charges involve rules or policies which are beyond his or her scope of authority, the department head may refer to the complaint to Step C.

C. If the individual feels that the complaint has not been remedied by the department head, the complainant should file a written complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator for Warren County. The written complaint should be filed within ten (10) working days from the date of the letter sent by the department head as set out in Step B. Upon receipt of a written complaint or referral by a department head, the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator will conduct an investigation within twenty (20) working days, with an extension of up to twenty (20) working days with an extension of up to twenty (20) additional working days if needed. He or she will make a full report to the complainant and the department head which shall include findings as to the truth of the allegations of discrimination. As a result of the investigation and the findings of the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator, the department head shall then review his or her previous decision to determine if the appropriate action was taken. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the final report the department head shall send a written notice to the complaining party of action being taken.

D. Right of Appeal – Any complaining party may present his/her written complaint of discrimination to the County Executive, after the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator has investigated the matter, if the employee feels that the department head has failed to adequately address the discrimination problem.

ALCOHOL AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN THE WORKPLACE

It is the policy of Warren County to maintain a safe, efficient, and productive place of employment where the highest standards of quality can be maintained. Warren County now recognizes and expresses concern for the ever-increasing drug and substance abuse that is widespread in the American society and out of concern for the destruction, both real and potential, caused by drug, alcohol, and general substance abuse, Warren County does hereby establish this policy and this program in order to actively work for the elimination of accidents the loss of human skills and achievements, loss of productivity, and retardation of social advancement.

With this concern, and in the interest of full compliance with the provisions of the Acts of the United States Congress in the Omnibus Drug Bill 1988 the following principals shall stand:

1. No one employed by or engaged in services to Warren County shall distribute, dispense, possess, manufacture use or otherwise engage in the use of or the encouragement or the promotion of any drug or substance that will in any way impair the performance of any one performing duties or may be in any way involved in operations of Warren County.

2. Those having management and supervisory responsibilities shall be alert for any violations of this Policy. They shall inform employees through Safety Meetings and printed material that may become available the provisions of this Policy and Program and they shall take such actions as may be feasible to refer to anyone found to be in violation of this Policy and Program to competent medical or professional counseling or rehabilitation assistance that may be available. Participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program will be at the expense of the employee.

3. An employee may have prescription drugs in his/her possession provided such drugs were specifically prescribed by a physician for the treatment of an employee health condition. The employee should voluntarily advise the supervisor if the use of such drugs may affect job performance in such a way as to necessitate the temporary reassignment of duty to protect the safety of the employee and/or others in the workplace. Such disclosure will be held confidential information.

4. Anyone found to be in violation of the stated principles of this Policy and Program shall be immediately removed from County responsibilities out of concern for their personal safety, the safety of others, and the protection of County assets. Managers and/or supervisors shall counsel any individual within the limits of their own knowledge and skill with the intent of rehabilitation.

ALCOHOL AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES TESTING FOR SAFETY-SENSITIVE POSITIONS

I. General PolicyIt is the policy of Warren County to maintain a workplace that is free from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. Employees in safety-sensitive positions that require a Commercial Driver License (CDL), and applicants for such positions, will be subject to controlled substance and alcohol testing. This testing is in compliance with the Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 and related U.S. Department of Transportation rules and regulations, set forth in 49 CFR Federal Regulations Parts 40 and 382.

Alcohol and controlled substances testing will be permissible only for other Warren County employees who are in safety-sensitive positions, (as defined in Section XIII), that is law enforcement positions and emergency medical personnel. Supervisors of safety-sensitive employees, prior to proceeding from permissibility testing status to mandatory testing, shall consider the following:

1. Is there valid public interest to be protected by testing?

2. Does Warren County have a “compelling interest” to be protected?

3. Is there a documented drug or alcohol problem in the particular workplace?

4. Do these safety-sensitive employees perform duties “fraught with such risks of injury to others that even a momentary lapse of attention can have disastrous consequences”?

5. Are there other less intrusive means available to accomplish the objective, such as, would proper and closer supervision of employees identify a drug or alcohol problem?

6. Remember, a generalized desire to eliminate drug and/or alcohol use among employees, in and of itself is not enough justification for mandatory testing.

If after consideration of the above questions and factors, the supervisor determines that other Warren County safety-sensitive employees will be subjected to mandatory testing for drug and alcohol use, the same policies and procedures, as applicable, enumerated herein for employees in safety-sensitive positions who drive a commercial motor vehicle, and employees who perform safety-sensitive functions which require them to hold a commercial driver license (CDL) will be followed for other Warren County employees in safety-sensitive positions.

103

38 | P a g e

II. Specific Prohibitions

A. Alcohol

No employee is allowed to report for duty or remain on duty under the following circumstances:

1. While having alcohol in his possession

2. While having a breath alcohol concentration of 0.040% or greater as indicated by an alcohol breath test. An employee shall be removed from a safety-sensitive function for twenty-four (24) hours, if he/she has a breath alcohol concentration of 0.020 – 0.039.

3. While using alcohol.

4. Within four (4) hours after using alcohol.

5. Within eight (8) hours after an accident unless the test has been completed.

B. Controlled Substances

Use or possession of illegal controlled substances by employees in safety-sensitive positions are prohibited on or off duty: no employee may have detectable levels of illegal substances while on duty. Any unauthorized use of controlled substances is prohibited. No employee shall be allowed to perform a safety-sensitive function while impaired by medication. Employees are required to provide a physician’s statement that prescribed medications do not adversely affect the employee’s ability to perform safety-sensitive functions. The supervisor shall take appropriate action such as approving leave or giving the employee an alternate assignment on a temporary basis.

III. Who Is Subject to Testing?

This policy requires testing of employees in safety-sensitive positions who drive a commercial motor vehicle, and employees who perform safety-sensitive functions which require them to hold a CDL. Safety-sensitive functions are any of those on-duty functions set forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 49 CFR 395.2, paragraphs 1-6.

This policy requires testing of employees in safety-sensitive positions, who drive a commercial motor vehicle, and employees who perform safety-sensitive functions

104

Page 105: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

39 | P a g e

which require them to hold a CDL including employees in full-time, part-time, and temporary positions. Supervisors are subject to testing as long as they oversee the work of drivers and may drive or perform other safety-sensitive functions when needed. Mechanics who repair and maintain CMVs and test them on public roads, are also covered by this policy.

Who must hold a CDL and be subject to testing? Any driver who drives a motor vehicle:

A. with a gross combination weight rating of 26,001 or more pounds inclusive of a towed unit with a gross vehicle weight or more than 10,000 pounds;

B. with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more pounds;

C. designed to transport sixteen (16) or more passengers;

D. of any size that is used to transport hazardous material which require the vehicle to be placed under the hazardous materials regulations.

IV. TEST REQUIRED

Pre-employment, Random, Post Accident, Reasonable Suspicion, Return to Duty, and Follow Up testing are the six types of test required. An applicant or employee must carry and present a current photo ID to the appropriate personnel during testing.

A. Pre-Employment

Tests will be conducted after a provisional offer of employment has been made and before an employee performs a safety-sensitive function for the first tie. Tests must also be completed before an employee is promoted, transferred, or assigned to a safety-sensitive position and upon return to work when an employee has been on leave or otherwise out of the program for a period of six months or longer. A controlled substance test must be negative as determined by applying limits set in the federal guidelines. The Department of Transportation does not require pre-employment alcohol testing.

B. Post-Accident

Alcohol and controlled substance tests will be conducted after accidents on drivers whose performance could have contributed to the accident, as determined by a citation for a moving violation, and for all fatal accidents even if the driver is not cited. Tests should be done as soon as practicable, however,

105

Page 106: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

40 | P a g e

nothing in this section shall be construed to require the delay of necessary medical attention for injured people following an accident or, to prohibit a driver from leaving the scene of an accident for the period necessary to obtain assistance in responding to the accident or within two (2) hours of the accident and in no event after eight (8) hours and controlled substance tests will be administered within thirty-two (32) hours of the accident.

Drivers are required to notify their supervisor immediately following an accident and are required to make themselves readily available for Post-Accident testing procedures, if required by this part. After notification, the employee shall proceed immediately to the designated collection site for Post-Accident testing. Any unreasonable delay in providing specimens for drug testing shall be considered a refusal to cooperate with the Substance Abuse Program and shall result in administrative action up to and including termination of employment.

C. Reasonable Suspicion

These tests are ordered when a trained supervisor observes and documents appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of an employee which are characteristic of the use of alcohol or controlled substances. Observations may include symptoms of chronic use or withdrawal.

If possible, the characteristics listed above, must be observed by at least two supervisors or company officials. If not feasible, only one supervisor or company official need witness the conduct. The witness(es) must have received training in the identification of physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of possible drug and alcohol misuse. The behavior of the employee must be documented and signed by the witness within twenty-four (24) hours of the observed behavior or before the test results are released, whichever is first.

No employee shall be allowed to drive or perform any safety-sensitive function when suspected of being impaired until a test reports that the employee is medically qualified to drive.

D. Random

Tests are ordered on a random, unannounced basis from the pool of employees identified as subject to this policy. Random selection of employees is done by an independent contractor using a statistically valid method, such as computer-based listing of employees by social security or employee number. An employee’s name remains in the pool after being tested each time selections are made.

106

Page 107: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

41 | P a g e

An employee notified by his supervisor to report for a controlled substances or alcohol test must go immediately to the collection site.

At least twenty-five percent (25%) of employees will be tested annually for alcohol, with tests conducted just prior, during, or immediately after performing safety-sensitive functions.

At least fifty percent (50%) of employees are subject to testing for controlled substances, with tests being conducted just prior, during, or immediately after performing safety-sensitive functions.

E. Return to Duty and Follow-Up Testing

Return to Duty – Any employee who tests positive under this policy must test again before returning to a safety-sensitive function. This test must be no more than 0.020 for alcohol and negative for controlled substances.

Follow-Up – Following a determination that an employee is in need of assistance in resolving problems associated with the use of alcohol or controlled substances, the employee is subject to unannounced testing. Theremust be at least six (6) within the first twelve (12) months after an employee returns to work. The length of time an employee is subject to follow-up testing and the number of tests required beyond the minimum six (6) tests required is determined by the Substance Abuse Professional.

V. OVERVIEW OF TESTING PROCEDURES

A. Alcohol

Testing for the use of alcohol will be conducted by a certified Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) using evidential breath testing (EBT) devices approved by the Federal Government. The EBT analyzes a specific volume of expired breath. The weight of alcohol in the breath sample is determined and the quantity of the alcohol converted to its equivalent value in blood. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 means one tenth of a gram of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. A test may have two separate parts. The first being the initialtest. If the initial test result is less than 0.020 it is recorded as a negative result. If the initial test result is 0.020 or greater a confirmation test is given. The alcohol testing will be conducted in a site that allows confidentiality, such as a room or partitioned off area. Only one breath test will be conducted at a time.

The first part of the testing procedure is to make sure the EBT is operating properly. The BAT runs a "blank check” in the presence of the donor, to ensure

107

Page 108: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

42 | P a g e

the EBT is working correctly and the reading is zero. Next, a sealed mouthpiece is opened and placed onto the EBT. The donor is requested to blow into the mouthpiece for at least six (6) seconds or until the EBT indicates that an adequate amount of breath has been obtained, to ensure a sufficient quantity of deep lung air. The EBT will immediately read the results of the test and a copy of the printed results will be given to the donor. Employees may be required to initial the BAT Log, to certify test results.

When the initial test result is 0.020 or greater, a confirmation test is required. Before the confirmation test, the donor will be observed for fifteen (15) minutes. The purpose of the waiting period is to ensure that the presence of mouth alcohol from the recent use of tobacco, food, or hygiene products, does not artificially raise the test result. The confirmation test will be done on the same EBT as the initial test with the same procedures.

If the initial screening and the confirmation test results are not identical, confirmation results are deemed to be the final result upon which any action under operating administration rules shall be based. A breath alcohol testing form will be prepared, and a copy given to the donor.

B. Controlled Substances

Controlled Substance tests will be done by urinalysis and will check for the following drugs:

1. Marijuana (THC metabolite)

2. Cocaine

3. Amphetamines and Methamphetamines

4. Opiates (including heroin and codeine)

5. Phencyclidine (PCP)

All drug testing must be conducted from urine specimens collected under highly controlled conditions. Specimens will be collected at a collection site designated and analysis will be conducted by a laboratory certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

After the collection of a urine specimen, it is forwarded to the laboratory for analysis. The initial test is the immunoassay test. If the initial test result is negative the laboratory will notify the Medical Review Officer (MRO) the

108

Page 109: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

43 | P a g e

specimen is negative, and no additional tests will be conducted. If an initial test is positive for a controlled substance, a confirmation test is performed using the gas (GC/MS) chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. Only specimens that are confirmed positive are reported positive to the (MRO) for review and analysis.

C. Refusal to Submit to Testing

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations prohibits any driver to refuse to submit to the types of controlled substance and/or alcohol testing listed in this policy. No Company shall permit a driver who refuses to submit to a required test to perform or continue to perform safety-sensitive functions.

In controlled substance testing, failure to provide a sufficient amount of urine may constitute a refusal. In alcohol testing, the refusal to sign the certification in Step 2 of the D.O.T. Breath Alcohol Concentration Form is regarded as a refusal to submit to testing. Not providing a sufficient amount of breath, under certain conditions, may be regarded as a refusal to submit to testing.

VI. NOTIFICATION OF RESULTS AND ROLE OF THE MRO

All controlled substance tests are reviewed and interpreted by a physician designated as the MRO before they are reported to the employer. If the laboratory reports a confirmed positive result to the MRO, the MRO contacts the driver to determine if there is an alternative medical explanation for the substance(s) found in the employee’s urine specimen. If the employee provides appropriate documentation and the MRO determines that it is legitimate medical use of the prohibited substance(s), the result is reported as negative to the employer although the employee may not be medically qualified to perform safety-sensitive functions. The department administrator will notify the employee to contact the MRO, if the MRO has been unable to contact the employee.

A. Consequences for Drivers Who Test 0.04 BAC or Greater

A driver who tests 0.04 or above:

1. cannot perform a safety-sensitive function,

2. Will be made aware of resources for solving alcohol and drug problems,

3. Must be evaluated by an SAP,

4. Comply with treatment recommendations, and

109

Page 110: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

44 | P a g e

5. Must undergo a return to duty alcohol test, with a negative test result.

B. Consequences of a Test Over 0.02 BAC but Less Than 0.04

1. No driver who is found to have a BAC of 0.02 or greater, but less than 0.04 shall perform safety-sensitive functions until the start of the driver’s next scheduled duty period, but not less than twenty-four (24) hours following test.

C. Consequences of a Positive Drug Test

A driver who tests positive for a controlled substance:

1. cannot perform a safety-sensitive function,

2. must be evaluated by an SAP,

3. must comply with treatment recommendations, and

4. must undergo a return to duty drug test with a negative test result.

The positive tested driver will also be subject to unannounced follow-up drug and/or alcohol tests for up to five (5) years depending on the evaluation of the substance abuse professional.

D. Removal from Duties

An employee who tests positive for a controlled substance(s), or alcohol, refuses to submit to such test, or attempts to tamper with the test is in violation of this policy and shall be removed from safety-sensitive duties, pending further action.

E. Rehabilitation and/or Disciplinary Action

Employees who test positive for any unauthorized use of controlled substances and/or alcohol will be terminated, upon the first offense. Any employee who does not notify his supervisor of a prescribed medication and tests positive may be suspended for up to three (3) days, without pay. The designated official may take into account factors such as the circumstanceswhich led to testing the employee’s work history and past corrective or disciplinary action.

110

Page 111: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

45 | P a g e

Warren County shall provide employees with a list of resources available indicating where an employee can be evaluated and receive help to resolve any problem associated with substance/alcohol abuse. However, Warren County is not required to and will not pay for the evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, or counseling.

VII. VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES AND/OR ALCOHOL USE

An employee who voluntarily comes forward and wishes to seek rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drugs, will be referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and placed on leave of absence. This leave is covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Under FMLA the employee will have to use any accumulated sick leave. Once the sick leave has been used, the employee will then have to use any accumulated annual or personal leave. If the employee is still in the rehabilitation program after their annual leave is depleted, that employee will then be on leave without pay. The employee will not be allowed to return to work until it has been certified by the attending physician that the employee has complied with all prescribed treatment. Employees may only come forward one (1) time. When the employee returns to work, the employee will be required to pass a Return to Duty drug/alcohol test. Employees who test positive for either drugs or alcohol, after returning from their leave of absence, shall be immediately terminated. Furthermore, any employee who returns to work after rehabilitation will be subject to follow-up testing, as spelled out in the follow-up testing procedures for both alcohol and drugs.

A voluntary referral is defined as being one that occurs prior to any violation ofthis policy, including a criminal charge or conviction of that individual on a drug-related offense. A referral is not voluntary if made after notification of a required drug test.

VIII. RE-TEST PROVISION

Breath alcohol tests are conducted and confirmed while the employee is present eliminating the need for a re-test.

For controlled substance(s), an employee or applicant who has confirmed positive test results may request that the split sample be tested at a different federally certified laboratory. Such request must be made within seventy-two (72) hours after learning of the positive results. Any action required by this policy, as the result of a positive test result, will be enforced pending the split sample results.

IX. RETURN TO DUTY AND FOLLOW-UP

111

Page 112: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

46 | P a g e

Employees with a positive test result for controlled substance or alcohol will be referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) for evaluation. No employee shall be allowed to return to a safety-sensitive position until he submits to a return to duty test with a negative result and he-she is released to return to a safety-sensitive position by the SAP.

X. CONFIDENTIALITY

Controlled substance and alcohol testing results and records shall be maintained under strict confidentiality by the company contracting to administer the testing program, the testing laboratory, and the MRO. These results cannot be released to others without the written consent of the employee. Exceptions to these confidentiality provisions are limited to a decision maker in litigation or administrative proceedings or officials designated in the federal regulations. Statistical records are maintained for required reports for the Federal Highway Administration.

Employees involved in testing and the administration of this policy shall observe strict confidentiality of an employee’s test results and treatment. Any employee who violates this requirement for confidentiality will be subject to disciplinary action.

XI. TRAINING

Informational Program – A program will be presented for all employees covered by this policy to help them understand the policy and Warren County’s program on substance and alcohol abuse. This will include training on the provisions of the policy, information about controlled substances and alcohol use, and treatment resources that are available. The policy will be made known to all employees and the information will be incorporated in New Employee Orientation.

Supervisors – Supervisors of safety-sensitive employees shall attend a program of training. This program will be designed to teach supervisors how to identify and document substance and alcohol use among employees and to familiarize them with the controlled substances testing program, provisions of this policy, and related laws.

XII. THE EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ON HEALTH, WORK, AND PERSONAL LIFE

DID YOU KNOW THAT SUBSTANCE ABUSERS?

- Are five (5) times more likely to have an accident,- Are sixteen (16) times more likely to be absent from work.- Use three (3) times as many sick benefits.

112

Page 113: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

47 | P a g e

- Make five (5) times as many Workers’ Compensation claims, and- Are less productive and more likely to injure themselves or co-workers.

With the ever-increasing use and misuse of alcohol and drugs, the effects extend far beyond the individual user. Impaired employees endanger themselves, fellow workers, ad other drivers on the highways. Employees with drugs and alcohol in their systems are less productive and more likely to injure themselves or other persons in an accident. Alcohol and drug abusing employees increase the cost related to lost productivity, absenteeism, accidents, and theft.

Also, medical costs are higher an are passed on to the employer in the form of higher insurance rates. Alcohol and drug abuse costs both the employer and the employee. Alcohol remains the number one abused drug in this country. Alcohol consumption causes a number of changes in behavior. Even low doses can impair judgement and coordination required for driving. Low to moderate doses impairs reaction time and visual perception. Moderate to high doses cause marked impairment in higher mental function severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression which could lead to death. If combined with other depressant drugs, much lower doses of alcohol will product the effects just described. Long term consumption of large quantities of alcohol can lead to permanent damage of vital organs, such as the brain and liver. Drug use can cause an array of medical problems from hypertension, strokes, heart disease to psychosis.

Signs and symptoms of an alcohol or drug problem. (List is not inclusive.)

Drugs can show their effects in many different ways. Some of the most noticeable signs of drug abuse are drowsiness, respiratory depression, constructed or dilated pupils, nausea, slurred speech, excitement, loss of appetite, poor perception of time and distance, relaxed inhibitions, disoriented behavior, watery eyes, runny nose, chills and sweats, convulsions, apathy, depression, and the use of drug paraphernalia. Some of the signs and symptoms of alcohol misuse are the odor of alcohol, slurred speech, staggering, tremors, vomiting, cramps, delirium, loss of appetite, using arms for balance, swaying while maintaining balance, and confusion.

Multiple substance abuse is abuse of more than one drug, either at the same time or over a period of time and it involves any combination of:

- Alcohol- Prescription drugs- Over-the-counter drugs- Illegal drugs

113

Page 114: Warren County Board of Commissioners 201 Locust Street ...€¦ · 2 Warren County Personnel Policy Update 3 Amendment # GF-FY 19/20-22 Year-end clean up adjustments for General Fund

48 | P a g e

Multiple substance abuse is especially dangerous because different substances interact with each other to produce unexpected effects and dangers.

Multiple substance abuse often begins with abuse of a single substance. This may happen because once a person begins to rely on a drug, abuse of additional substances becomes more likely. People who abuse substances are at a high risk for developing dependence and tolerance for other substances.

Alcohol and substance abuse are complex problems calling for specialized supervision and care. Don’t help or aid a person who you think has a drug or alcohol problem. Leave the treatment and counseling of persons with an abuse problem to the professionals.
