Return-to-duty in the Clearinghouse context means completing the substance abuse professional process, achieving a negative return-to-duty test, and finishing the follow-up testing plan—or the employer assuming follow-up responsibility as § 382.701(d) describes—before the driver may perform safety-sensitive functions again.
