01/10/2011 <br /> Supervisors may require that an employee submit to drug test when such supervisor has <br /> reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of drugs at a time when <br /> the employee is to perform job duties and responsibilities. "Reasonable suspicion" <br /> means a belief based on facts and circumstances sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent <br /> supervisor to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs. <br /> When it is determined through a drug screening test and a confirmatory test, or <br /> otherwise, that an employee has violated this Section, the employee shall be subject to <br /> discipline up to and including discharge. <br /> Employees who hereafter apply for promotion shall, as a condition of appointment, <br /> submit to a drug test. A confirmed positive result shall disqualify such applicant, who <br /> may thereafter not apply for such promotion for one year. <br /> The implementation of drug testing hereunder shall comply with employee due process <br /> procedures as required by law and as specified by the Fire Department Substance Abuse <br /> Program. <br /> SECTION 28 — SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS <br /> Should any section, clause or provision of this MOU be declared illegal by final judgment <br /> of a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidation of such section, clause or provision <br /> shall not invalidate the remaining portions hereof, and such remaining portions shall <br /> remain in full force and effect for the duration of this MOU. <br /> Upon such invalidation, the parties agree to meet and confer concerning substitute <br /> provisions rendered or declared illegal. <br /> 53 <br /> Page 59 #15077 <br /> MUFF # 905 <br />
