(1) Applicants for employment are required to submit to a drug test after receiving a conditional offer of employment. Applicants will not be tested for THC (marijuana/cannabinoids) and alcohol unless otherwise required by applicable law (e.g., DOT regulated employees) or unless such testing is a requirement for a license, certification or other job requirement required to qualify for or hold a position.

(2) Employees who are being transferred or promoted to new positions are generally not required to undergo drug and alcohol testing as a condition of employment in the new position. However, an employee transferring or being promoted to a new position may be required to undergo drug and alcohol testing if required by applicable law (e.g., DOT regulated employees) or if such testing is a requirement for a license, certification or job duty required to qualify for or hold the position. The extent of the drug and alcohol test will comport with the applicable law or requirements.

(3) If required of the position, the successful completion of a pre-employment drug and alcohol test or a drug and alcohol test prior to transfer or promotion is a condition of employment. If an applicant/employee is unwilling or unable to submit to a required drug and alcohol test, or alters, tampers with, or contaminates any drug test, he or she will not be hired or promoted/transferred. The pre-employment drug and alcohol testing slip is only valid on the date issued. Failure to complete this process will result in disqualification from employment for 180 days.

(4) Employees who work in positions that require a pre-employment drug and alcohol test and who have been inactive for 90 days or more will be required to undergo the drug and alcohol testing in order to be considered eligible to work. The Tribe does not discriminate against applicants with past drug use but prohibits employees from currently using illegal drugs. All “positive” test results will be automatically reviewed by the Medical Review Officer (MRO) before the employee is disqualified. Disqualified applicants may not reapply for employment with the Tribe for a minimum of 180 days. [Res. 2022-10-016 § 1, 2022.]
