20.0
MANAGER REFERRAL
20.1 Managers
have an obligation to help employees who exhibit signs and symptoms of drug and/or alcohol abuse, to seek help from EAP, before test results are pending, or before an accident or incident occurs.
20.2 When
an employee is referred to EAP by a manager for work-related problems, confidentiality regarding personal matters will be maintained.
20.3 If
EAP determines there is an active substance abuse disorder, or if a condition indicating a need for treatment is identified and the employee refuses to participate in the recommended treatment (or refuses to provide
information concerning an alternate treatment program designed to help that employee) then, upon advice from EAP, the Office of the Medical Director may medically disqualify that employee.
20.4 Employees will not be returned to work until they have met all conditions detailed in instructions issued by EAP or the employee's manager. Employees may be subject to discipline if they fail to follow any instructions issued as a result of this referral. Their instructions may also include a requirement that the employee may be subject to Union Pacific follow-up testing.
