Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section V-119 - General ProvisionsA. DED reserves the right to have a licensed physician, of its own choosing and at its own expense, determine if use of prescription medication produces effects which impair the employee's performance or increase the risk of injury to the employee or others. In such case, DED will modify the employee's customary job duties or work activities for the period the employee is unable to safely perform his/her customary job duties. Alternatively, the employee may be required/permitted to use accrued leave.B. Although the substance abuse testing defined in these rules is restricted to five specified drugs and alcohol, DED reserves the right to require employees to submit to additional testing, if warranted. Such tests will only be administered when post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing produce negative results and the employee's behavior clearly indicates impairment or other indicia of substance use. Separate samples will be collected for these additional tests and the testing process will fully comply with DHHS regulations.La. Admin. Code tit. 13, § V-119
