Compliance with the Greater Erie Community Action Committee Drug & Alcohol Abuse/Testing Policy

As an applicant to this agency, I understand and agree that I am subject to GECAC's Drug & Alcohol Abuse/ Testing Policy. I also understand that any offer of employment by the agency may require a drug test and if so, the offer is contingent upon successfully passing a Drug Screening Test. I hereby give my consent to the agency to conduct a urinalysis for drug testing purposes.

I understand and agree that the Drug Screening Test will be performed by a laboratory selected by the agency and that the laboratory is solely responsible for the accuracy of the results of the Drug Screening Test.

I agree to execute all other consent forms required in connection with any Drug Screening Test, including any forms provided by the laboratory granting permission to take a urine specimen and release the results of my Drug Screening Test(s) to GECAC Vice President/ Human Resources.

I understand and agree that if the pre‐employment Drug Screening Test indicates a violation of the Drug Abuse Policy, the contingent job offer will be null and void.

In return for my being considered for employment, I hereby release and hold harmless GECAC, its affiliates, successors, and their officers, directors, and employees from liability whatsoever arising out of or related to any Drug Screening Test.

Refusal to sign the required consent for Drug Screening Test will be deemed refusal to take the drug test and will preclude further consideration of my application.
