Our Policy formally states that substance abuse is not tolerated during working hours on the premises of FirstService Residential, including the parking lots, as well as any job site to which you are assigned. This prohibition includes the possession,use or sale of illegal drugs or alcohol. Our policy also prohibits off-premises abuse of alcohol,prescription and over-the-counter drugs,as well as the possession, use or sale of illegal drugs,when these activities adversely affect job performance,job safety,or FirstService Residential's reputation in the community. The legal use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs is permitted during work hours on the premises of FirstService Residential only if it does not impair an employee's ability to perform the essential functions of his/her job effectively and in a safe manner. Employees who are found to be under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol, or who violate this Policy in other ways are subject to corrective action, which may include termination. It is a condition of your employment to refrain from taking illegal drugs on or off the job,and if you,as an injured employee in Florida, refuse to submit to a test for drugs or alcohol, you could forfeit your eligibility for medical and indemnity benefits under Florida's Workers' Compensation laws.
