Drug-Free Workplace

Being under the influence of or using intoxicants or illegal drugs while on duty is strictly prohibited as outlined in the Unified Judicial System Personnel Policies, Section 2, Standards of Conduct/Disciplinary Policies. Any employee involved in these activities may be subject to discipline, up to and including dismissal. In addition, the employee may be subject to criminal penalties.

"At-Will" Employment

The Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania is an "at-will" employer that presumes that all employees have the right -- upon giving proper notice, as described herein -- to terminate their employment at their own free will. Similarly, the Unified Judicial System reserves the right -- upon giving proper notice, as described herein -- to terminate any individual's employment when such action is determined to be in the best interest of the Unified Judicial System.

Employees of the Unified Judicial System are not subject to the state’s Civil Service Commission’s policies and procedures, and are not, therefore, selected for employment through the state civil service process.
