Does anyone else? Preliminary reading of this bill, it doesn't look like it exempts these cases so I'm curious what you are all thinking on this issue in light of the bill. </P> <P>Drug Testing. What is everyone doing for DOT-required SAP referrals following positive exams? Paid/Unpaid time and who is paying for the cost of the evaluation? Then, if we decide to keep an employee subject to their compliance with the SAP recommendation, what other agencies do for required follow-up testing subject to the terms and conditions recommended by a Substance Abuse Professional (we follow same procedure as DOT for our safety-sensitive). We've had these tests be at their own expense but now I'm rethinking how this will be impacted by this new code. </P> <P>The other topic we thought of was HEP B immunizations. We have to "offer," but don't require that for our bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan covered positions (like lifeguards, police, and fire). What's everyone else thinking? Would that time be non-compensable if they do want to get immunized or do the titer testing? We're already required to pay for it if they are uninsured.</P> <P>DOT medical cards or police vision screening. If we have a provider they can go to that will bill us, but the employee would rather see their own medical provider for personal reasons, do you think this would change the requirements of HB 130?</P> <P>So many questions on this one. </P> </blockquote><br>
