FBC Jacksonville Employee Handbook 2025
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy
As all of you know, we are involved in the business of preparing and distributing food products to the public. A high standard of conduct and care is required from all of us. Our future success depends in large measure upon the responsible behavior and well-being of our people. We also use machinery, equipment, and tools that must be treated and operated very carefully and under complete control for the sake of safety. Furthermore, because we are in the business of producing food products for the public, we must take every step possible to ensure that top quality and safe products are produced. The illegal use of drugs 1 and misuse of alcohol are directly contrary to these responsibilities to the public, to your fellow employees and yourself, and cannot be tolerated. The illegal use of drugs also is inconsistent with law abiding behavior, which is expected of everyone. In this regard, the Company fully complies with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. A copy of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy is permanently posted on the bulletin board and is reviewed with each employee. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please discuss them with your supervisor or your Human Resources Business Partner. • To be involved in the illegal use, possession, manufacture, distribution, dispensation or sale of drugs or drug paraphernalia on Company property or while on Company business, in a Company supplied vehicle, or during working hours--include breaks and meal periods. • To be involved in the illegal use, possession, manufacture, distribution, dispensation or sale of drugs or drug paraphernalia off Company premises that the Company determines may affect the employee's work performance, his or her own or others' workplace safety while working, or otherwise adversely affect the business. It is an absolute violation of Company policy for any employee:
• To be involved in the use or possession of alcohol on Company property.
• To be involved in the use of alcohol off Company premises that the Company determines may affect the employee's work performance his/her own or others' workplace safety, or otherwise adversely affect the business.
• To be "under the influence" due to the use of illegal drugs or alcohol on Company property, in Company supplied vehicles, or during working hours. [2]
We hope everyone realizes that if drug or alcohol abuse is going on, to any extent, by anyone, it must be stopped immediately. It poses a danger to everyone. Anyone who believes this policy is being violated is strongly encouraged to let management know. Any such reports will be kept confidential to the extent practical.
