Drug and Alcohol Testing

In the event that an employee is injured on the job and requires treatment at a hospital emergency room facility, the injured employee will take drug and alcohol tests. If either test is positive, the employee will be dismissed from Piedmont University.

The University will not employ persons who use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol. Accordingly, the University shall have the right to require an employee to submit to testing for drug and/or alcohol use as a continuing condition of employment as the University deems necessary to maintain safe and efficient campus operations. An employee who refuses to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing or who tests positive may be suspended from duty pending further investigation and may be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate discharge.
