Tastykake Employee Handbook

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. To protect our customers and our employees’ safety and health, we take a number of steps to ensure that our policy is followed. These steps may include searches, at company discretion, of lockers, lunch boxes, toolboxes, vehicles, desks, clothing, and work areas. It may also include drug and/or alcohol testing whenever the company suspects that an employee's work performance or on-the-job behavior may be affected in any way by illegal use of drugs or use of alcohol, or that an employee has otherwise violated the policy. Employees also will be tested after a work-related "recordable" accident, a vehicle accident, whenever company policy requires an employee to undergo a physical examination and whenever required by law. An employee who tests positive for illegal use of drugs and/or found to be under the influence of alcohol as a result of any test will be in violation of our policy. It is also the responsibility of each of us to report promptly to the Human Resources Department his or her use of any prescribed or over-the-counter medicine, which is known or publicized as possibly impairing judgment, coordination, or other senses important to the safe and productive performance of work. Consistent with the law-abiding behavior we expect of everyone, employees must notify management within 5 days of any arrest for, or conviction of, a criminal drug offense as required by the 1988 Drug Free Workplace Act. Compliance with our Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy is a condition of employment. Violation of this policy will subject the employee to discipline, up to and including immediate termination. Noncompliance includes the refusal to cooperate with any or all procedures encompassed by this policy, including submitting to a test or search, and all requirements incident to a test or search and the policy generally. To help inform and educate all of us on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, we have established an awareness program. This program emphasizes our policy of maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free workplace; advises you of available counseling or rehabilitation opportunities and employee assistance programs; and includes features in our employee communications. The company strongly encourages employees who develop a drug and/or alcohol problem to notify the director of human resources and to seek help from public health agencies in our community. It is the employee's responsibility to seek assistance before he or she is discovered in violation of the policy and the company takes disciplinary action. The company cannot, and does not, assume any responsibility for diagnosing employee problems or referring employees to assistance programs.
