It is the policy of Chesapeake Beach that the unlawful manufacture,
distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance
or alcohol is prohibited in the workplace. This policy applies to
all Town employees. The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 created requirements
for employees working on federal grants. Those additional requirements
for grant employees shall be applied by the Town when applicable.
In addition, employees who are employed at the Chesapeake Beach Waterpark
may be required to submit to drug and alcohol testing if required
by Division B of this chapter.
Employees are expected and required to report to work fit for
duty and remain able to perform their job duties throughout the day.
Employees who are impaired by the use of a substance or who are in
possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a prescription,
on the job, have the potential for interfering with their own, as
well as their coworkers', safe and efficient job performance.
As a condition of employment, employees must:
A. Notify their department head and the Office of the Mayor of any criminal
drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace
no later than five days after such conviction.
B. Abide by the above-stated policy and notification process.
