    Drug-Free Awareness Notice

    Numerous studies, reports, and surveys indicate that substance abuse has cost American business

    billions of dollars in lost productivity, and has also increased absenteeism, workplace theft, and

    accidents resulting in injury or death. Because of the debilitating and detrimental effects of illegal and

    controlled drug use, it has long been CSCs policy to provide employees, customers, and visitors with

    a workforce and workplace completely free of illegal and controlled drugs. Within the United States, it

    is our policy to require all offers of employment to be contingent upon the applicants ability to pass a

    pre-employment drug test, unless there is a conflict with state law or a labor or contract agreement.

    The federal government requires a drug-free work environment for its own employees and those of its

    contractors. By complying with these efforts, CSC has incorporated the federal initiatives into the

    companys own management policies. Our policy and related program for maintaining a drug-free

    workplace is contained in Human Resources Management Policy 222 - Drug and Alcohol Abuse. In

    summary, this policy states that employees who are directly observed possessing, using, distributing,

    manufacturing, dispensing, purchasing, or selling illegal or controlled drugs at the workplace will be

    subject to termination (except when the use of the controlled substance is prescribed by a licensed

    health care provider who has authorized the employee to report to work, and CSC has confirmed thatauthorization based on the requirements of the position and has also authorized that employee as fit

    for duty). Employees working on a federal contract are subject to the requirements of the Drug-Free

    Workplace Act of 1988 and are expected to refrain from any of these actions, as a condition of

    employment. If you are convicted of a criminal drug statute violation occurring at the workplace, you

    are required to notify a CSC Human Resources representative within five (5) days of your conviction.

    Employees who fail CSCs drug testing, or whose conduct gives management reasonable cause to

    suspect drug abuse, or who voluntarily report a personal drug abuse problem, may be offered the

    opportunity for rehabilitation through the completion of a program of treatment, as recommended by

    CSCs Life Management program. However, an employee may be ineligible for rehabilitation and

    subject to disciplinary action up to termination if the prohibited conduct posed either a risk to the

    health or safety in the workplace, or there is a documented history of a conduct or performance

    problem.

    Specific guidance regarding CSCs Drug-Free Awareness Program, CSCs Human Resources

    Management Policy 222 - Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and CSCs Life Management program are

    available for review on the CSC Corporate Shared Services website (https://servicecenter.csc.com)

    or may be obtained from a CSC Human Resources representative.
