Nebraska Drug-Free Workplace

Nebraska has specific statutes regarding drug-free workplaces, particularly within the Nebraska Court System. The policy prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance in the workplace. Employees or officers found violating this policy may face discipline up to and including termination. The policy applies to various controlled substances, including unauthorized prescription drugs, and requires employees to report any convictions related to drug violations in the workplace to the State Court Administrator or State Probation Administrator. This policy is part of a broader legislative intent in Nebraska to address and eliminate drug and alcohol use and abuse in the workplace, while also protecting employees' rights. The state does not mandate employers to conduct drug and alcohol testing but provides a framework for when such tests might be given.

Moreover, regulatory requirements at the federal level necessitate that states or state agencies receiving grants maintain a drug-free workplace program. This includes a certification process that confirms the commitment to a drug-free workplace, which can be submitted annually or as a one-time certification, depending on the type of grant received. Violations of these regulations can lead to serious consequences, including suspension, termination of grants, or debarment of the grantee from receiving any federal grants.

These policies and regulations aim to create a safe and drug-free work environment across various sectors in Nebraska, reflecting a broader effort to combat drug abuse and its effects on the workplace.
