@hr_explained: Managers, practice these situations just like you would a fire drill. Employees who may not be sober at work need to be handled very carefully, professionally, and consistently. Employers should have clear and detailed policies on this. Document the observable factors. Have an identified testing facility already set up for use. Have a plan for transportation. You may even need to call 911. I haven’t had to do that yet but it’s something to consider as you have no idea if something was taken, when, how much, etc. I suggest having administrative leave templates already written so you just add names and dates in them. Practice explaining what happens if the employee refuses to test or doesn’t test within the time frame. And what happens if the facility reports ANY issues. Know what the MRO does. Know what happens if they do have a prescription for medication. If you want to conduct random drug tests, they actually need to be random. Understand when FMLA is appropriate or other forms of leave. Understand what conditions aren’t directly covered by FMLA or ADA. And always prioritize safety. #hrtiktok #humanresources #manager #fmla #corporatelife
