Deny them the ability to work their shift and address it through HR

An intoxicated employee must not work their shift; the situation should be handled through proper HR channels to address the underlying issue.

Question 4

Which of the following is a key element of an effective ID-checking policy?

Accepted Answer

Train staff to recognize common forms of altered or fake identification

Restricting shots during late hours is a harm-reduction measure that slows alcohol absorption and reduces risk of acute intoxication when impaired driving is most dangerous.
