Westminster Employment Policies
Anti-Nepotism
ANTI-NEPOTISM POLICY
It is not unusual for members of a family to work for the same employer. However, such situations can be troublesome if the related employees are in a supervisor-subordinate relationship or create a real or perceived conflict of interest.
-
Westminster will consider a member of an employee’s immediate family for employment if the applicant possesses all of the qualifications for employment for the position. An immediate family member may not be hired, if the employment would (a) create either a direct or indirect supervisor/subordinate relationship with a family member; or (b) create an actual conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. These criteria will also be considered when assigning, transferring or promoting an employee. For purposes of this policy, “immediate family” includes the employee’s spouse, brother, sister, mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, children, stepchildren, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law and any other member of the employee’s household.
-
Employees who marry or become members of the same household may continue employment as long as there is not (a) a direct or indirect supervisor/subordinate relationship between the employees; or (b) an actual conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.
-
Should one of the above situations occur, Westminster will review the specific situation, will attempt to find a suitable position within the school to which one of the affected employees may transfer, and will consider if an exception can be considered. Any exception must be approved by the President of the school. If accommodations of this nature are not feasible, affected employees should be prepared for possible discontinuation of employment.
Drug Free Workplace
DRUG FREE WORKPLACE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND TESTING POLICY
Westminster is committed to providing a safe work environment and to fostering the well-being and health of its employees. That commitment is jeopardized when an employee illegally uses drugs on the job; comes to work under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any illegal substance; possesses, distributes, or sells illegal drugs or substances in the workplace; or abuses alcohol, drugs, or any illegal substance on the job. Westminster’s Drug Free Workplace program is certified by the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Board. A full copy of our Drug Free Workplace Policy is accessible in the Human Resources Office and the Pressly Hall infirmary. Any employee requesting a full copy will be provided with one.
As set forth in our full Drug Free Workplace Policy, Westminster will not tolerate alcohol abuse or the use of other intoxicants and mind-altering substances, including illegal drugs. “Mind-altering” substances include any type of substance ingested, snorted, smoked or inserted into one’s body that may impair an individual in some way. Such substances include, without limitation, alcohol, legal or illegal substances, over the counter salts, spices, vapors, incense, or other similar items.
Our employees may be required to submit to drug screens, blood alcohol tests, breathalyzer tests, and medical examinations under the following circumstances:
(a) as a condition of employment;
(b) when an employee is suspected of working or reporting to work with intoxicants or mind-altering substances in his or her system;
(c) when an employee suffers an on-the-job injury or is involved in an accident while at work if there exists a reasonable possibility that drug or alcohol use caused or contributed to the reported injury or illness;
(d) in connection with a routine fitness for duty examination; or
(e) on a random basis, as necessary.
The presence of alcohol or any other intoxicants or mind-altering substances in the body is a violation of this policy regardless of when consumption or ingestion occurred. Refusal of an employee to undergo testing or to cooperate fully with requested testing is also a violation of this policy.
This policy does not prohibit the proper use of medication under the direction of a physician. However, the misuse or abuse of such drugs is prohibited. Employees who are taking prescription or nonprescription drugs, which could affect their ability to perform their job in a safe and efficient manner, must notify their immediate supervisor of this fact when they report to work.
Employees are prohibited from possessing, using, selling, or purchasing any mind-altering substances in school vehicles. Employees are prohibited from using alcohol or any mind-altering substance 12 hours before operating a school vehicle. Alcoholic beverages may not be sold or purchased on school property. Alcohol consumption is expressly forbidden while supervising or chaperoning students and while accompanying field trips, overseas trips, overnight trips, and any other excursions with students.
This policy does not prohibit employees from drinking at approved school-related functions, as long as the employee uses good judgment. Everyone shares responsibility for maintaining a safe work environment; supervisors and co-workers should encourage anyone who has a suspected substance abuse problem to seek help through Westminster’s EAP or other means.
Violation of any aspect of Westminster’s Drug Free Workplace Policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, Westminster may report use, sale, or possession concerns to the civil authorities.
