WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW? Orange Spiel Orange County’s internal publication for employees, the Orange Spiel, is published bi-monthly. For more information or to submit an article for consideration, contact your division’s contributing editor. Orange County Intranet The Orange County Intranet is available from the internal Orange County network. The Intranet is located at http://intranet/. Drug & Alcohol Policy Orange County is committed to a Drug/Alcohol-Free work environment. Drug and alcohol consumption constitutes a danger to the employee, fellow employees, and the public. The safety of public property and equipment is placed in jeopardy when an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is the policy of the County that the unlawful manufacture, sale, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of drugs or alcohol, or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the workplace is expressly prohibited and constitutes grounds for termination of employment with Orange County. Drug testing of Orange County employees is compliant with the Drug-Free Workplace program outlined in the Florida’s Workers Compensation Statute 440.101- 102. All employees are subject to pre-employment, post-accident and reasonablesuspicion screening The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 mandates a random alcohol and drug testing for employees in positions requiring a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Workers Compensation If you are injured in the line of duty, you are required to report the injury immediately to your supervisor regardless of the extent of the injury. In the event you refuse medical care, you must provide a signed statement to this effect along with the Notice of Injury report. 12 | Orange County Government Employee Handbook
Collective Bargaining Units WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW? Separation of Employment Exit Interviews It is important for the County to know why employees resign. Exit interviews provide valuable information that can potentially improve working conditions for remaining employees. Exit interviews are scheduled and conducted by representatives of Human Resources as part of the routine checkout procedure after the employee has given notice of resignation. Labor Unions Many positions within Orange County Government are covered by collective bargaining agreements, which are jointly negotiated between the County and each respective labor union. Membership with a union is an individual’s choice neither mandated by the union, nor required for employment with Orange County Government. It is the responsibility of unionized employees to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, as these guidelines prevail over the policies found in the Orange County Policy Manual. The provisions of the Policy Manual will be applicable to the members of the bargaining unit in matters not expressly agreed to in their contractual agreement. ■ AFSCME Council #79 – American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ■ FOP Lodge – Fraternal Order of Police Insurance Continuation When employees who are enrolled in the Health/ Life/Dental/Vision insurance plan separate from employment with the County, their paid insurance coverage terminates effective at the end of that pay period. Upon loss of coverage, eligible employees and/ or their eligible dependents may be able to continue health coverage through (COBRA) Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. Under Federal Law, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (OCBCC) is required to offer covered employees and their dependents the opportunity for a temporary extension of their insurance. ■ IAFF Local #2057 – Orange County Professional Firefighters ■ LIUNA Local #517 – Laborer’s International Union of North America Orange County Government Employee Handbook | 13
