A 14 day out-of-work period will apply for a second failure.  If an employee fails a third test in a year, the employee will not be allowed to work for one year.  In addition, employee must consult with an IU Health Substance Abuse Professional and take a return to duty test with a negative/valid result. The return to duty test will be at employee’s expense.
