Follow Up Drug Testing. Upon request, an employee, who has a verified positive result for a controlled substance listed in the ‘Controlled Substance Tested’ section, will need to submit to follow up testing. The Employer shall have the right to follow up testing once within the following six months from the date of employee’s last positive test results.
Follow Up Drug Testing. If the employee in the course of employment enters an employee assistance program for drug-related problems, or a drug rehabilitation program, the employer must require the employee to submit to a drug test as a follow up to such program, unless the employee voluntarily entered the program. In those cases, the employer has the option to not require follow up testing. If follow up testing is required, it must be conducted at least once a year for a 2-year period after completion of the program. Advance notice of a follow up testing date must not be given to the employee to be tested.
Follow Up Drug Testing. Upon request by the Facility/Program Administrator or designee, an employee, who has a verified positive result for a controlled substance listed in the ‘Controlled Substance Tested’ section, will need to submit to follow up testing. The employer shall have the right to follow up testing once within the following six months from the date of employee’s last positive test results. If the Facility/Program Administrator or designee’s decision is to pursue a substance abuse test, then arrangements are made with an independent, licensed vendor contracted with the Department. The employee who is subject to the alcohol/drug testing will remain readily available. Key documents are to be signed by the employee and the Facility/Program Administrator or designee. Upon request, an employee may have an available employee representative present if being requested to undergo an alcohol/drug test. Should a false accusation be made that an employee is suspected of substance abuse, then the accuser may be subject to disciplinary action.
