Drug and Alcohol Policy

At Tidepool we aim to create a safe, comfortable, and productive environment for everyone we work with. We realize that drugs and alcohol can contribute to a culture of harassment or one that feels unsafe for some employees, even as it can foster camaraderie and friendship among others. Above all other considerations, our drug and alcohol policy is intended to preempt and avoid harassment and make working at Tidepool feel safe.

Alcohol may be served at Tidepool events, and external events, such as at team dinners, Tidepool team onsite meetings, or conferences. It is the responsibility of every employee to ensure their individual consumption is not making others feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Employees who violate this policy may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Illegal drugs should not be used, bought, sold, or distributed while working either in the office or remotely while representing Tidepool. For the purposes of this handbook, "illegal" shall mean as defined by federal law.
