Wells Fargo Drug and Alcohol Policy

Wells Fargo is a drug-free workplace.

Wells Fargo is dedicated to maintaining a drug-free workplace. All employees are required to perform their job duties unimpaired by illegal drugs, marijuana, alcohol, or the improper use of legal substances. Employees are prohibited from working or reporting to work when impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Important:  Employees are expected to take accountability for their actions and decisions. Any employee who is unfit to work because of alcohol or drug use may be sent home and this can result in corrective action, which may include termination of employment.

 

Drug-free workplace

We have absolutely no tolerance for illegal drugs — or the solicitation, distribution, or misuse of legal drugs — at Wells Fargo. As a federal contractor, Wells Fargo must comply with federal law. While a substance may be legal in a particular state, if it is an illegal substance under federal law, it may not be brought into any Wells Fargo workplace.

Important: The sale, purchase, manufacture, dispensation, distribution, possession, or use of any illegal drug or any mind- altering or nonprescribed controlled substance, or the nonprescribed use of a controlled substance, on company premises, during work-related activities, or while conducting company business is prohibited and is cause for immediate termination of employment. In addition, illegal substances found on company premises can be turned over to outside legal authorities for further investigation.

 

Alcohol

Although the use of alcohol may be legal, employees are prohibited from performing their job duties, which includes driving while on company business, if employees are impaired by the use of alcohol.

Employees are responsible for complying with Wells Fargo policies on professional behavior, harassment, and violence-free workplace, even if they are consuming alcohol at a company-sponsored event or conducting business with customers or other non- employees where alcohol use is sanctioned. Employees are also responsible for using a safe means of transportation if they have consumed alcohol in any of these circumstances.

 

Alcohol on company premises

Drinking alcohol on Wells Fargo premises is allowed only at select Wells Fargo-sponsored events where alcohol is served.

Serving alcohol at an event must be approved by the head of the business group sponsoring the event. If employees are planning an event where alcohol will be served, they are required to review the alcohol guidelines for special events on the Risk & Insurance Management site.
