Supervisor Responsibilities

Supervisors and managers are required to observe and monitor the performance and behavior of all employees. If an employee’s actions are suspicious, the supervisor or manager must address these concerns. When intervening with a suspected substance abuser, never:

Accuse
Diagnose
Threaten
Pass Moral Judgment
Keep Detailed Documentation
Use Fairness In Every Facet of Response
Promptly Respond If An Employee Exhibits A Substance Abuse Problem
When Handling A Substance Abuse Situation, Always Notify A Member of Management and/or Human Resource
