The following provisions shall be deemed controlling over conflicting
provision(s), if any, set forth in the Anti-Drug and Alcohol Misuse Plan.
The testing facility/employee assistance program (EAP) shall inform
the drug/alcohol program manager of an employee being selected for testing,
and to report for testing, on the same day the employee is to be tested. The
Town of Catskill shall inform the facility/EAP of this policy within 10 days
after execution of this chapter, to become effective within 30 days after
execution.
All terms and conditions of the aforesaid plan shall apply to noncommercial
driver licensed employees (non-CDL) but such shall be deemed and considered
a separate plan than for commercial driver licensed (CDL) employees with a
testing pool separate and apart from the pool used for CDL employees. Selection
for testing in this separate pool shall be done by use of a sliding monthly
scale based upon a twelve-month period. The procedures for maintaining these
two pools and the sliding monthly scale shall be made by the testing facility/EAP.
All new employees, part-time employees, seasonal employees and employees
who have been off the work payroll for 30 consecutive days or more shall be
tested at commencement of employment. In addition, at said commencement, such
employees shall be assigned to the appropriate testing pool, i.e., the CDL
pool or non-CDL pool.
The Town of Catskill authorizes the testing facility/EAP to supply information
regarding the method used to select and test the employees upon request of
the same by the CSEA Unit President within a reasonable time.
The Town of Catskill will supply all employees subject to these aforesaid
plans with photo identification cards which may be used in connection with
the testing process. Employees shall cooperate in the processing of the cards.
Said cards shall be completed and supplied to the employees within 60 days
of the day of execution of this chapter. Subsequent new employees shall be
supplied with cards upon commencement of employment or as soon thereafter
as practicable.
The aforesaid plans shall not be amended as to new or different drugs
to be tested without notice to and approval by the CSEA other than drugs for
which testing is or becomes required by law.
The CSEA hereby confirms that it approves of and accepts said plans
in their entirety as amended by this chapter and that its approval and acceptance
is deemed retroactive to January 1, 1996.
