This position is assigned to a Drug Screening Class under the City’s Drug-Free Workplace Policy. The classification determines whether the position is subject to pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, or other required testing. Classifications are based on the actual duties of the position, applicable federal and state law, and the level of safety risk associated with the work performed.
This position is classified as CATEGORY IV: Non-Safety, which includes positions whose duties do not meet the statutory criteria for mandatory testing or safety-sensitive positions under Florida Statute 440.102. These roles do not involve duties where impairment would create an immediate physical threat to the employee, coworkers, or the public. Employees in this category are not eligible for random or pre-employment drug testing under Florida law. Testing may only occur when lawful grounds exist, such as reasonable suspicion, post-accident circumstances, or when required by federal or state regulation. Non-safety positions typically include administrative, clerical, financial, IT, planning, HR, communications, and other office-based roles where impairment, while unacceptable, does not rise to the level required for mandatory testing.
The full drug-free work place policy will be provided at the time of hire.
