e e 6. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES 6.1 Legal Drugs a. The undisclosed use of any potentially impairing legal drug by any individual while performing City business or while on City premises is prohibited. However, an individual may continue to work, even though using a potentially impairing legal drug if City management has determined, after consulting with the City's health and/or personnel officials, that such use does not pose a threat to safety and that the using individual's job performance will not be significantly affected. Otherwise, the individual may be required to take leave of absence or comply with other appropriate action as determined by City management. b. An individual whose medical therapy requires the use of a potentially impairing legal drug must report such use to his or her supervisor prior to the performance of City business. The supervisor who is so informed will contact the City's designated personnel officials for guidance. Many legal drugs, although prescribed, are not potentially impairing, e.g., birth control pills. c. The City at all times reserves the right to judge the effect that a potentially impairing legal drug may have upon work performance and to restrict the using individual's work activity or presence at the workplace accordingly. d. It will be the responsibility of any individual using a potentially impairing legal drug to inquire of his her physician as to the effect that such a drug may have upon the individual's ability to perform, and to report to the individual's supervisor the use of any legal drug that has been determined by the individual's physician to be potentially impairing. 6.2 Illegal Drugs and Alcohol a. The use, sale, purchase, transfer, or possession of an illegal drug or alcohol by any individual while on City premises or while performing City business is prohibited. Provided however, this does not prohibit consumption of alcohol on City premises when served under permit. 7. DISCIPLINE 7.1 Any individual who possesses or uses illegal drugs on City premises or while on City business will be discharged or disbarred from the workplace.
