What is the employer’s cost when an employee faces DUI arrest?

From an employer’s perspective, aside from the human realities, an employee’s DUI arrest is very expensive. First, there is likely missed time at work for court appearances and potentially jail time. Next, your employee’s ability to get to work on time becomes a true challenge if they lose their driver’s license. Lastly, production – it is a rare employee who is able to engage in work at the same level when distracted by the stress, fear, and embarrassment of being arrested. So, what can you as an employer do?
