An employee who takes a test required by SCC 3.58.040 who receives a positive drug test result or receives an alcohol test result with a BAC of 0.04 or higher, shall be required to obtain a return-to-duty test (either alcohol, drug, or both) with a negative result in the case of a drug test or, in the case of an alcohol test, with a result of a BAC level of less than 0.02, prior to returning to work. This test shall be obtained at the employee’s expense.

Prior to obtaining a return-to-duty test, an employee must meet with a substance abuse professional and agree to terms of a Reinstatement/Return-to-Work Agreement provided by the County. The agreement will set out the conditions for the employee’s return to work in accordance with the substance abuse professional’s recommendation regarding treatment and follow-up and the County’s requirements regarding future conduct and drug and or alcohol testing, as appropriate.
