any sample will be subject to termination. Reasonable
accommodation will be assessed for any employee who has a medical
condition that effects his/ her ability to provide a test sample. Medical

suspended shall be reinstated with backpay and interest on such
amount if the result of the test is not a confirmed positive drug or
alcohol test.

substance abuse treatment program.

(b) If Big River has an employee benefit plan, the costs of
rehabilitation shall be apportioned as provided under
the employee benefit plan. If no employee benefit plan
exists, and the employee has coverage for any portion
of the costs of the rehabilitation under any health care
plan, the cost for rehabilitation shall be apportioned as
provided by the health care plan with any costs not
covered by the plan apportioned equally between the
employee and Big River; however, Big River is not
required to pay more than $2,000 toward the costs not

apportioned equally between the employee and Big
River. However, the company shall not be required to
pay more than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) toward
the costs of rehabilitation.
