He didn't want to work through all the "legal issues" at the time. The questions are valid though. </P> <P>Worker's Comp: I agree with your reading of the bill. I believe the intent of the bill is to have those follow-up exams as compensated time. </P> <P>Drug Testing: I talked about this issue with the bill sponsor. His intent was for those follow up visits on positive drug test NOT to be compensated. In Committee hearings, Rep. Gwynn agreed that agencies should not have to pay when an employee tests positive. That would be the responsibility of the employee. I think some could read the actual language differently, but I am going with the stated legislative intent. To be clear to employees, I would put that expectation in writing when you inform employees what they have to do. </P> <P>Immunizations: If they are not required, then they aren't covered by this bill. I think you could still make an offer without having them required. The code doesn't require it be compensated, but you could make that internal policy if you want. </P> <P>DOT medical cards: This was brought up specifically and Rep. Gwynn stated the intent was to require those medical visits as compensated time if they job required a CDL. I don't think going to a different provider changes the requirement of the bill. It would still be compensated time and the city would be required to pay for the visit. </P> </blockquote><br>
