Legal Question in Employment Law in California

termination for 30 day suspension

I drive a commercial hazmat truck. While driving my car on vacation I was arrested for dui. It appears that the charge will be reduced to wet reckless. Which will result in only a 30 day suspension of license. I plan to use our companies Employee assistance program for alcohol rehab during my 30 day license suspension and then return to work. First driving violation in 18 years with company. Can they fire me as long as I have my license reinstated before I return to work be.
