Return to Duty
This article explains how the Return to Duty (RTD) Process is managed within the Alcohol & Drug section in Encompass. There are 2 key references: the Return to Duty Disposition and the Return to Duty Test Type, which can only be used after a Violation Test (e.g., positive result) has been recorded. The RTD Disposition applies to alcohol tests with a concentration of 0.02 or higher and drug tests with a negative result where the Test Type is Return to Duty. If the RTD test is negative and the Disposition is entered, the system prompts the Return to Duty Requirements screen, where Administrators can specify the number of follow-up tests, the timeframe for completion, and any additional notes. This ensures compliance with Post-Violation Testing requirements and proper tracking of employee Return to Duty procedures.
Details
There are two references in the Alcohol & Drug section in the term Return to Duty. The first is the disposition of returning an employee to duty. The second is the test type return to duty. The employee must have a violation test (e.g. Positive) entered before a Return to Duty test type can be used. The two instances the return to duty disposition can be used are:
- For alcohol tests that have a test result of Alcohol Concentration 0.02 or above
- For drug tests that have a negative result and the test type was Return to Duty
If the Return to Duty test is negative and a Returned to Duty Disposition is entered, then the user will be taken to the following screen, Return to Duty Requirements, which will allow the user to setup how many follow-up tests need to be taken.
- Number of Follow-Up Tests Required - Type the number of follow-up tests required by the SAP
- Number of Months to Complete Follow-up Tests - Type the number of months to complete the follow-up tests.
- Notes - Use for any additional information that should be included.
