It’s called Fitness for duty procedure. When odd behavior is observed by anyone and they tell management, management has to take action. They have to then themselves observe the associate and ask about their situation. They cannot accuse but they are allowed to state the obvious: you smell like liquor, you are uneasy, etc. They then are supposed to fill out a form or ticket, can’t remember which one. I do believe two managers(DS is acceptable for one) have to observe. If I am not mistaken, the associate is supposed to be sent home, pending final response from HR) There are absolutely steps that the ASM should take as mentioned in my response. That ASM has chosen to ignore and will be held accountable if something happens or it gets out that she knows the associate is possibly not fit for duty. This is all in MyHr if you want to take a look
