Care.com is committed to providing a drug-free, healthy and safe workplace. Because the presence of illegal drugs or other substance abuse is incompatible with this desire, it is not tolerated and will be grounds for immediate termination.

As a reminder, arriving at a booking under the influence or using drugs or alcohol during a booking is strictly prohibited and may result in corrective action up to and including termination. Our sole purpose is to keep the children entrusted to us safe and healthy.

While performing your job duties or other Care.com-related activities off company premises, you may not use, possess, manufacture, distribute, sell, attempt to obtain or dispense, or be under the influence of, illegal drugs or any narcotic, hallucinogen, sedative, controlled substance or other drug (other than in accordance with a doctor's prescription). Care.com strictly prohibits having illegal drugs or unauthorized controlled substances present in the body, ingesting them before reporting to work or during meal or break periods, or being otherwise impaired by drugs or alcohol while at work, while on company property, while at company events, or otherwise conducting company business or in other circumstances that might harm the company's operations, safety or reputation. Any employee found to be in violation of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment.

When Care.com determines that there is reasonable suspicion that an employee possesses illegal drugs, is impaired by drugs or alcohol, or has otherwise violated this policy, the company may:

Reasonable suspicion generally exists when Care.com observes any noticeable or perceptible impairment of the employee's mental or physical faculties or job performance. Care.com is solely responsible for determining whether "reasonable suspicion" exists and whether an employee will be required to submit to testing for drugs and alcohol, subject to applicable law.

The safe, appropriate use of authorized prescription drugs as prescribed by a licensed physician or other authorized health care provider is conditionally allowed, but it is the employee's responsibility to determine from the prescribing physician or authorized health care provider whether the drug might interfere with the employee's ability to perform their job. If such is the case, the employee must notify Human Resources before continuing or returning to the job. If an employee does not notify Human Resources, and the use of such drugs results in an employee being impaired while performing work for the Company, such impairment may result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment.

We recognize that some states may permit the use of medical marijuana, but unless state law requires otherwise, employees are not permitted to use, or be under the influence of, medical marijuana while on Care.com property, at Company events, while conducting Company business or in other circumstances that might harm the Company's operations, safety or reputation.

Any illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia found in your possession during a childcare booking or Care.com-related work, will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency and may result in criminal prosecution, in addition to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination.

These policies do not restrict an employee's lawful possession or use of marijuana or other legal drugs outside of working for the Company.

Care.com is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and to promoting the health and well-being of our employees. As such, Care.com is a smoke-free workplace. Any use of tobacco products on company premises or while conducting Company business is prohibited. Vaping is also strictly prohibited.
