20.225—What actions must I take concerning employees who are convicted of drug violations in the workplace?
There are two actions you must take if an
employee is convicted of a drug violation in the
workplace:
(a)
First, you must notify Federal agencies if
an employee who is engaged in the performance of
an award informs you about a conviction, as
required by § 20.205(c)(2), or you otherwise learn
of the conviction. Your notification to the
Federal agencies must_
(5)
Be sent to every Federal agency on whose
award the convicted employee was working. It must
be sent to every awarding official or his or her
official designee, unless the Federal agency has
specified a central point for the receipt of the
notices.
(1)
Take appropriate personnel action against
the employee, up to and including termination,
consistent with the requirements of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794 ), as
amended; or
(2)
Require the employee to participate
satisfactorily in a drug abuse assistance or
rehabilitation program approved for these purposes
by a Federal, State or local health, law
enforcement, or other appropriate agency.
