Upon report of a positive test, the employee or applicant will be notified of the
test results. As part of that notification, he or she will be provided an opportunity
to explain any positive results. An employee or applicant whose test results were
positive may, at the employee's or applicant's own expense, have a re-test conducted
of the original sample at a laboratory of the employee's choice that has been pre-approved
by the city. An employee or applicant shall request such re-test within thirty (30)
days of being notified of the original test results. The laboratory used for the re-test
shall have a chain of custody procedures to ensure proper identification, labeling
and handling of test samples and proper exchange with the return of the samples to
the original medical group or laboratory. Following review or the appeal process,
a final determination will be made by the appropriate authority. Employees who have
disciplinary action taken against them as a result of a positive drug test may file
a grievance to the city manager for a hearing.
