FAQ
Neither Texas nor federal law addresses whether a screening technician can observe employees urinate for a drug test. Several courts have ruled that this practice invades employee privacy.
In fact, the Texas Workers' Compensation Act notes that businesses with 15 or more workers should give the details of their drug testing policy. Employers must also provide details about drug violation penalties to their workers, per the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
If you fail your pre-employment drug test, you could hardly get the job as the employer would not consider you fit for the job. They may differ based on the company policies and the drug test results. If you are an employee and you failed your surprise or random drug test, you may lose your job.
Usually not. Some courts have found it to be an unfair invasion of privacy to watch employees urinate. However, most courts have held that it is reasonable to enforce other safeguards that protect against tampering with urine specimens.
No Drug Testing Statute in TexasTexas legislation does not address drug testing in private employment. This means that employers are free to require or ask employees and applicants to take a drug test, as long as they don't run afoul of other legal protections.
Unfortunately, Texas employers can fire employees that refuse to sign an acknowledgment of the drug testing policy. However, employers need to provide the employee with a warning that there is a risk of termination if they fail to sign the policy.
A doctor should not take any sample without getting the 'informed consent' of the person being tested but nowadays most samples are not taken by doctors, and technicians working for a drugs testing company are not covered by the same ethical framework.
Employers have to have consent if they want to test for drugs. Usually this is when they have a full contractual health and safety policy, which should be in the contract or staff handbook.
Failing a drug test in California means that an employer can legally deny you employment, or terminate your employment depending on the conditions of your hiring. Once you have been hired, the employer may choose to continue your employment but decline to promote you until you pass the next series of drug tests.
