POLICY STATEMENTS
Please read the following statements, and sign where indicated to signify your understanding. If you need clarification on any statement, please ask before signing.
Drug-Free Workplace Policy Summary
Piper Sandler recognizes that alcohol and drug abuse adversely affects job performance and safety in the workplace. We believe that a productive and safe work environment is in the best interest of our employees, our clients and our shareholders. Therefore, it is the Company’s policy to maintain a workplace free from the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. The Company requires that all employees and applicants participate in, consent to and comply with the terms of this Policy as a condition of employment and continued employment. This statement is only a summary of the Policy. Upon request, a copy of the complete Policy, which establishes and governs the Company’s expectations in this area, will be provided to you if a conditional offer of employment has been extended.
This Policy applies to all applicants for employment and to all employees, including contract or employees of temporary employment agencies. The Policy is applicable at all company facilities and on all company premises, in company vehicles, or wherever company employees are performing company business.
Employee drug and alcohol testing may occur, except where limited by law, where there is reasonable cause that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, post-accident, return-to-duty, follow-up or rehabilitation/treatment program testing. Piper Sandler will use only certified laboratories to conduct testing. Test results will be kept confidential and used only for business purposes.
Employees may refuse to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test; however, refusal may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Individuals tested may explain a positive test result on a confirmatory test or request and pay for an additional confirmatory test using the same specimen. Positive test results may result in an employee being referred for a substance abuse assessment or rehabilitation program and/or being subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Proof of Eligibility For Work
I understand that if I am hired, I must be able to prove my identity and my eligibility to work in the United States using forms and documentation deemed acceptable by the Department of Homeland Security. I acknowledge that failure to do so may constitute grounds for termination.
Work Permit
If state law requires me to furnish a work permit because I am under the age of 18, I will do so no later than my first day of employment.
Employing Relatives
Because of the potential for conflicts of interest, the appearance of favoritism and other issues, Piper Sandler reserves the right to prohibit or restrict the employment of relatives.
Employment At-Will
I understand that nothing in this application is intended to imply or create a contract for employment. I further understand that, if hired, my employment will be at-will and may be terminated by me or by Piper Sandler at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason at all, and that the terms of my employment, compensation or benefits may be changed at any time, without advance notice or my consent. I also understand that while personnel policies and procedures may necessarily change from time to time, no representative of Piper Sandler has the authority to enter into any agreement with me which alters my status as an at-will employee or to guarantee some other benefit, unless approved in writing by the Head of Human Resources or his or her designee.
