  2. I agree to provide a urine/blood sample* for drug screen, to be obtained in the presence of a qualified witness if the employer has documented reason to believe that I may be unfit for duty. The cost of the laboratory test shall be the responsibility of the employer. Positive urines will be cause for immediate assessment by my supervisor, Director of Nursing and myself. Relapse may or may not result in termination.

  5. I understand that my continued employment depends not only on meeting the terms of this agreement but also on satisfactory performance of my job. My employer will monitor my job performance and an unsatisfactory performance evaluation may be grounds for my termination consistent with the general employment criteria for all employees.
