Employees must report to work in a fit and safe condition and any employee who is impaired by alcohol or illegal drugs while working or at work may be disciplined, including the possibility of termination.  A supervisor may determine that an employee is impaired by observing the employee’s behavior.  Examples of the symptoms of impairment include lack of coordination or balance, impact on the employee’s eyes (e.g. red, bloodshot, dilated pupils, glassy, etc.), slurred speech, the odor of marijuana or alcohol, lack of focus and/or other unusual behavior.  If impairment is demonstrated, appropriate action will be taken.
