The <br />reference in this policy to the possibility of a return to work or follow-up testing does not <br />in any way limit the discretion of the Company to discharge an employee for violation of <br />this policy. <br /> <br /> F.

The Company recogn izes that <br />persons who do not violate this Policy may be subject to some inconvenience.
