Rehabilitation Leave

Although Florida does not have a specific state-mandated rehabilitation leave statute, the Company is committed to supporting its employees as a matter of policy, and reasonable accommodation may be required for substance use treatment under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Florida Civil Rights Act. Any employee who wishes to voluntarily enter and participate in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program may be granted a reasonable accommodation. Such an accommodation may include time off without pay or an adjusted work schedule, provided the accommodation does not create an undue hardship on the Company. It is generally the employee's responsibility to notify the supervisor of the need for an accommodation. Available PTO and sick leave may be used.

Exempt employees may be paid for time off when payment is required to comply with state and federal wage and hour laws.

The Company will take reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy of any employee with respect to the fact that the employee has enrolled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.

This policy does not prevent the Company from refusing to hire, or from disciplining (up to and including discharge), an employee who, because of the current use of alcohol or drugs, is unable to perform job duties or cannot perform them in a manner that does not endanger the employee's own health or safety, the health or safety of others, or Company property.
