[QUOTE="soberups, post: 574804, member: 14668"] [B]Section 3. Loss of License[/B] [B]Section 3.1 Leave of Absence[/B] When an employee, in any job classification requiring driving, loses his or her operating privilege or whose license has been suspended or revoked for reasons other than those for which the employee can be discharged by the Employer, leave shall be granted for such time as the employee�s operating privilege or license had been suspended or revoked but not for a period longer than one (1) year, provided the driver whose operating privilege or license has been suspended or revoked notifies the employee�s immediate supervisor before the employee�s next report to work of such suspension or revocation. The above provision need apply only to the first (lst) suspension or revocation except for suspension of commercial drivers license (CDL) of one (1) year or less duration. Employees who take a leave of absence under this Section whose loss of operating privilege or license is the result of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be allowed alternative work and to return to their job in accordance with Section 3.3 below. [B]Section 3.2 Alternate Work (Other than Alcohol/Controlled Substance)[/B] When an employee, in any job classification requiring driving, has lost his/her license under this Article he/she shall be afforded the opportunity to displace junior, one (1) full-time or two (2) part-time, inside employees, until he/she can return to his/her driving job, not to exceed one (1) year, unless provided for otherwise in the Supplements, Riders or Addenda. The employee shall receive the appropriate rate of pay for the job performed based on his/her seniority. Coverage for benefits shall continue for the length of the leave of absence or for the job duration, up to one (1) year. [B]Section 3.3 Alternative Work (Alcohol/Controlled Substance)[/B] When an employee, in any job classification requiring driving, has lost his/her license for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance he/she will be offered available inside work of one (1) full-time or two (2) part-time openings, not to exceed one (1) year provided that the employee is assessed by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and is released to return to work by the SAP. The SAP shall establish the terms upon which the employee may return to work. The employee must also enter a rehabilitation program, if required by the SAP, within one (1) month of the SAP�s assessment. The employee shall be returned to driving once he/she successfully completes the rehabilitation program, provided his/her driving privileges have been restored. The employee shall receive the appropriate rate of pay for the job performed based on his/her seniority. Coverage for benefits shall continue for the length of the leave of absence or for the job duration, up to one (1) year. Any driver cited for Driving Under the Influence who does not have his/her license suspended, or who has limited driving privileges, shall be assessed by a SAP within five (5) working days of the citation. If the SAP determines the driver does not require rehabilitation, then he/she shall be allowed to return to driving. Until the assessment is completed, the driver shall be allowed to work inside in accordance with the paragraph above. If rehabilitation is required, the above paragraph shall also be applicable. The one time right to rehabilitation provided in Article 35, Section 4.11 shall not be applicable to a driver who completes a rehabilitation program under this paragraph, unless, as a result of the DUI citation, the driver is convicted or loses his/her license for driving. _______________________________________________________________ Bottom line is; you have to report your DUI to management prior to the start of your next shift. You will be asessed by a SAP (substance abuse professional) and cannot return to driving until you have completed rehab and gotten your lisence back. Until then you can still work in the hub or preload in a non-driving capacity. This will be your last chance. Get another DUI and you [I]will[/I] be terminated from employment at UPS. You screwed up; learn your lesson, get help if you need it, and be grateful you didnt kill anyone. [/QUOTE]
