MY EMPLOYER IS MAKING ME TAKE A DRUG TEST --- IS THAT LEGAL?
Is your employer demanding that you submit to a drug test? Do you think he is breaking the law? He might be… An experienced employment attorney can help you decide. Additionally, the California Constitution and cases interpreting it protects strongly protect your right to privacy. Unlike in most other states, these privacy protections apply not only to acts of the government, but to acts by private employers.
If you are taking prescription medications and your employer requires you to take a drug test, anti-discrimination laws may apply, especially if your employer takes action; such as firing, demoting, or not promoting you, when you test positive for the drugs. However, some laws do require either drug testing or programs to ensure a “drug-free workplace.” A knowledgable employment lawyer can help you figure out if your job falls into this category.
