3 <br />4. Right to Refuse: All employees and job applicants have the legal right to <br />refuse to be tested. <br /> <br />a. Effect of Refusal to Submit to Testing: Employees who refuse to be <br />tested will be discharged or, if the testing is due to a customer <br />requirement, will not be assigned to that customer. Job applicants <br />who refuse to be tested will have their conditional job offer revoked <br />and will not be hired. <br /> <br />b. Interference with Testing: Employees and applicants are expected <br />to comply with the City of Mounds View’s drug and alcohol testing <br />policy, and to cooperate and to refrain from interfering with drug and <br />alcohol tests. Any employee or applicant who tampers, adulterates, <br />or otherwise interferes with a drug or alcohol test will be deemed to <br />have refused to take a test and, if an employee, will be terminated <br />or, if an applicant, will have his/her conditional job offer revoked. If <br />a sample is diluted or untestable, the City reserves the right to require <br />the employee or applicant to submit a second sample to be tested. <br />A refusal to submit a second sample will be considered a refusal to <br />submit to testing. In the event a second sample is also diluted or <br />untestable, the City will revoke a conditional job offer made to a job <br />applicant and the City reserves the right to discipline an employee, <br />up to and including termination of employment. If the testing is due <br />to a customer requirement, the employee will not be assigned to that <br />customer. <br /> <br />5. Employee Drug and Alcohol Testing: <br /> <br />a. Reasonable Suspicion Testing: The City will require an employee to <br />undergo drug and alcohol testing when the City has a reasonable <br />suspicion that the employee: <br /> <br />1. Is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. “Reasonable <br />suspicion” means a basis for forming a belief based on specific <br />facts and rational inferences drawn from those facts. <br /> <br />2. Has violated the City of Mounds View’s written work rules <br />prohibiting the use, possession, sale, or transfer of drugs or <br />alcohol while the employee is working or while the employee is <br />on the City’s premises or operating the City’s vehicles, machinery <br />or equipment. <br /> <br />3. Has sustained a personal injury, or has caused another employee <br />to sustain a personal injury, and the injury requires medical <br />treatment. <br />
