Under the DOT regulations, hiring and reinstatement decisions <br />are left to the employer. The DOT leaves all payment issues for SAP evaluations and services to the Company <br />and the employee to resolve. <br />SAP Process. The SAP will make aface-to-face clinical assessment and evaluation to determine what assistance <br />is needed by the employee to resolve problems associated with alcohol and/or drug use. The SAP will refer the <br />employee to an appropriate education and/or treatment program. At the completion of the education and/or <br />treatment, the SAP will conduct a face-to-face follow-up evaluation to determine if the employee actively participated <br />in the education and/or treatment program and demonstrated successful compliance with the initial assessment and <br />evaluation recommendations. <br />Reports will be provided to the Company on both the initial requirements and the outcome of the follow- up <br />evaluation. The report will be specific and will include all of the Part 40 requirements of a written SAP report. The <br />SAP will provide the DER with a written follow-up drug and/or alcohol testing plan for the employee and, if deemed <br />necessary, will also provide the employee and the Company with recommendations for continuing education and/or <br />treatment. <br />2. Employee Assistance Program <br />The Company will provide an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for its employees and supervisors. The EAP <br />may be established "in house," as part of internal personnel service or may be contracted to an entity that provides <br />EAP services at other locations. The function of the EAP will be to provide employees with informational material <br />on the awareness and danger of drug and alcohol use. General EAP-information material, such as the availability <br />of brochures or videos, and community service "hotline" telephone numbers will be displayed in common areas <br />and distributed to employees. Employees will be encouraged to call the hotline if needed. Additionally, this Plan <br />will be displayed and made available to all employees. The Plan contains the employer's policy regarding the use <br />of prohibited drugs and alcohol misuse. The areas and places in which the above material will be displayed <br />nclude employee bulletin boards, break rooms, locker rooms, or other areas designated by the Company. If <br />applicable, the Company will provide written notice to representatives of employee organizations of the availability` <br />of drug and alcohol education materials. <br />3.
