§ 2-245. Review and appeal.

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 within ten (10) days of being notified of the original test results. The laboratory used for the re-test shall have chain of custody procedures to ensure 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 or appeal to the city manager for a hearing.
