Every employer will face addiction in the workplace sooner or later, along with lost productivity, mistakes, absenteeism and leave for rehabilitation. This virtual seminar explains how to handle it lawfully and practically.
You'll learn what addiction is and why it can affect anyone, warning signs, underlying medical conditions, how to deal with an employee who arrives under the influence, and the legal risk of letting them drive home. It covers drug testing policies, limits on random testing, and reasonable suspicion testing.
The session also explains when the FMLA and ADA require leave, how the ADA treats alcoholism and past drug use, the interactive process, compliant medical authorizations, and how to use last chance agreements effectively.
Addiction issues that start at home often spill into work, and employers must handle them without creating legal exposure under their own policies, the Family and Medical Leave Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act. This session also looks at how to help an employee admit a problem and get help.
It suits HR professionals, risk managers and those who administer company benefits.
