DRUG TESTING POLICY


[Company Name] is a drug-free workplace. As such, we prohibit the use of non-
prescribed drugs or alcohol during work hours. If the employee comes to work
under the influence of drugs or alcohol or uses drugs or alcohol during work time,
the employee will be disciplined in accordance with the policy up to and including
termination.

Under [Company Name] ’s drug testing policy, all current and prospective
employees must submit to the drug testing policy. Prospective employees will only
be asked to submit to a test once a conditional offer of employment has been
extended and accepted. An offer of employment by [Company Name] is
conditioned on the prospective employee testing negative for illegal substances.

[Company Name] ’s policy is intended to comply with all state laws governing
drug testing and is designed to safeguard employee privacy rights to the fullest
extent of the law.

Before being asked to submit to a drug test, the employee will receive written
notice of the request or requirements. The employee must also sign a testing
authorization and acknowledgement form confirming that he or she is aware of the
policy and employee’s rights.

Any drug testing required or requested by [Company Name] will be conducted by


a laboratory licensed by the state. All expenses related to the test will be incurred
by the company. The employee may obtain the name and location of the laboratory
that will analyze the employee’s test sample by calling [Name of Collection Lab]
[number of hours] hours before the employee is scheduled to be tested.
(Name of the Organization)

If the employee receives notice that the employee’s test results were confirmed
positive, the employee will be given the opportunity to explain the positive result.
In addition, the employee may have the same sample retested at a laboratory of the
employee’s choice. If there is reason to suspect that the employee is working while
under the influence of an illegal drug or alcohol, the employee will be suspended
[with or without] pay until the results of a drug and alcohol test are made available
to [Company Name] by the testing laboratory. Where drug or alcohol testing is part
of a routine physical or random screening, there will be no adverse employment
action taken until the test results are in.

All testing results will remain confidential. The employee must sign a consent form
prior to the release of the results. Test results may be used in arbitration,
administrative hearings and court cases arising as a result of the employee’s drug
testing. Results will be sent to federal agencies as required by federal law. If the
employee is to be referred to a treatment facility for evaluation, the employee’s test
results will also be made available to the employee’s counsellor.
