Notice to All Applicants

Pre-employment drug-screening policy
Consent * Required
It is well recognized that employees cannot perform their job assignments effectively or safely while under the influence of drugs. The use of drugs greatly increases the risk of accidents, serious injuries and fatalities. It also interferes with the ability of employees to produce quality work. Because of our Company’s concern for the safety and well being of our employees, and because of the desire that employees consistently utilize their best abilities when performing their work, Five Star Sheets, L.L.C. has adopted a drug-screening program. To be eligible for employment, applicants who are offered employment must take and pass a drug-screening test. If an applicant refuses to take the test, refuses to sign the Consent and Release Agreement, or fails the test, the applicant will not be eligible for employment with Five Star Sheets L.L.C.

If an applicant’s sample fails the initial test, the applicant may, at his or her option, request confirmatory testing at the independent laboratory, which performed the initial screening test. The laboratory shall use the GC/MS test, and the applicant must pay the laboratory for the confirmatory testing before it is performed. If the second test confirms the initial positive result, a Medical Review Officer will determine if a legitimate medical reason exists for the positive test result. If no legitimate medical reason is identified, the applicant will not be employed. If the test is negative for drugs on the confirmatory test, Five Star Sheets, L.L.C. will reimburse the applicant for the cost of confirmatory testing and will consider the applicant eligible for employment.
I acknowledge that I have received and read this policy or that this policy has been read to me. * Required
