§ 2-214. Exemption for prescribed medical treatment.

The use of legally controlled substances as part of a prescribed medical treatment by a licensed physician will not subject an employee to disciplinary action or denial of employment if that treatment does not adversely affect job performance. Prescribed use must be substantiated by a physician's report or statement. If the use of prescribed drugs adversely affects an employee's job performance or is detrimental to the public trust or safety of other employees or citizens, it is in the best interest of the employee and the city for the employee to be placed on a leave of absence. Leaves of absence will be used in accordance with current policies.
