Substance Abuse

To help ensure a safe, healthy, and productive work environment for our employees and others, protect Midi property, and ensure efficient operations, Midi has adopted a policy of maintaining a workplace free of drugs and alcohol.

Midi prohibits the unlawful or unauthorized use, abuse, solicitation, theft, possession, transfer, purchase, sale, or distribution of controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, or alcohol while performing job duties for Midi or representing Midi at any company function. Employees also are prohibited from working while they are using or under the influence of alcohol, any drugs as well as any controlled substances that may impact an employee’s ability to perform the employee’s job or otherwise pose safety concerns, except when the use is pursuant to a licensed medical practitioner’s instructions and the licensed medical practitioner authorized the employee to report to work. However, to the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law, this exception does not extend any right to perform work under the influence of medical marijuana or to treat the lawful use of medical marijuana as a defense to a policy violation or a positive drug test, to the extent you are subject to any drug testing requirement.

Notwithstanding the general prohibitions above, reasonable and responsible consumption of alcohol may be permitted at certain Midi-sponsored events and functions.

Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

Midi maintains a policy of non-discrimination and will endeavor to make reasonable accommodations to assist employees recovering from substance and alcohol dependencies, and those who have a medical history that reflects treatment for substance abuse conditions. However, employees may not request an accommodation to avoid discipline for a policy violation.
