This hasn’t come up for us, but it sounds like the company may be confusing workplace with workforce. To give an example, alcohol is legal and employees generally have a right to drink alcohol at home when not at work or on call. However, employers have a right to ban alcohol from work premises, consumption of alcohol while at work or on call and to have a policy against showing up to work drunk. So I am not sure why this would be a problem for the company unless they are saying that they allow employees to come to work high, bring drugs to work or use  drugs while working?

Subject: [RESADM-L] Question for public universities that contract with Cayuse

 

USE CAUTION: External Message.

Good morning!

 

We have had Cayuse for five years and are trying to renew our contract and have run into a major issue with state law requiring certifications of drug-free workplaces and Cayuse (understandably) is not in a position to sign this as a company headquartered in Washington state.

 

Has anyone else run into this and how was it resolved at your institution?

 

Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

~Stephanie
