Throughout the 1980s, the issue of substance abuse testing became increasingly important to employers. And now the growing problem of AIDS and its impact on the workplace provides a related area of concern. In this work, Donald Klingner tells human resource professionals what they need to know about both these topics. The book carefully details the effects these problems have on employers, and provides specific recommendations for human resource management policy and practice which can reduce the employer's costs and legal liability risks while preserving employee rights. Following a general introduction that lays the foundation for the discussion, the book is divided into two main sections. The first addresses the intricacies of substance abuse and testing, presenting six chapters that survey substance abuse in the workplace; substance abuse testing techniques; substance abuse testing and the law; personnel policies and practices; employee assistance programs; and working with employees and unions. The second section covers the issue of AIDS and AIDS testing through four chapters: AIDS in the workplace; AIDS testing techniques; AIDS testing and the law; and personnel policies and practices. A concluding chapter provides a summary of both areas. This work will be a valuable reference tool for public and private-sector managers--supervisors, managers, trainers and personnel specialists--responsible for developing or implementing substance abuse or AIDS policy and practice. Public, college and university libraries will also find it a timely addition to their collections.
The statistics tell us that as many as 10% of the employees of any given business or company could have a problem with drug or alcohol use. This book helps employers and supervisors see the possible signs of addiction in their employees. It also provides some guidance about how to proceed if addiction is suspected in order to address the problem effectively and to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Subjects covered include: explanation of why addiction is a disease; characteristics of someone using drugs or alcohol; spotting defenses and denial; working with the employee; determining whether or not to terminate employment; legal considerations; the importance of your feelings in evaluating the situation; and additional resources to consult.
