ILLINOIS — "DRUG FREE WORKPLACE ACT" - 30 ILCS 580 When working on public projects in the State of Illinois, Employers must comply with the Illinois Drug Free Workplace Act. This Act requires Employers to certify that it provides a drug free workplace by complying with certain steps. First, the Employer must publish a statement to its Employees notifying them that as a condition of employment, drug possession, use, etc. is prohibited at work and specify the actions taken if this is violated. Second, Employers must provide each Employee working in Illinois a copy of this published statement. Third, Illinois requires Employers to provide a drug free awareness program to inform Employees about drug abuse, the Employer's drug free policy, the availability of drug assistance programs, and penalties for drug violations. If the Employer receives notice of an Employee's criminal drug conviction, the Employer must notify the Illinois agency in the contract within ten (10) days. Finally, if an Employee violates the drug free policy, an Employer has thirty (30) days to take action against the Employee, up to and including termination or requires the Employee to satisfactorily participate in an approved drug abuse assistance program. If the Employer fails to follow the Drug Free Workplace Act provisions, the Illinois agency in the contract may suspend or terminate the contract. If the violation is serious, the Illinois agency may recommend debarment, which makes the Employer ineligible to be awarded any contract or grant by the State of Illinois for one to five (1-5) years.
