Your Employee Gail Arrives Late to Work Her Evening Shift

Your employee Gail arrives late to work her evening shift at 3:15 p.m. You observe her stumble a few times and then notice later that she has fallen asleep at her work station. When you approach her she smells like what seems to be alcohol. What is your next step?

A) Discipline Gail for arriving late and then send her back to work.
B) Wake up Gail and send her home, telling her she needs to arrive sober to work tomorrow.
C) Continue to monitor Gail during the shift to see if she wakes up and then talk to her when she does.
D) Wake Gail and confront her in private about her tardiness and the behavior your observed and refer her to the EAP before sending her home for the rest of the shift.
E) Call the police because Gail obviously drove to work under the influence of alcohol.
