FAQ
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.
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.
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 cannot perform drug tests on employees who have not given their written consent. While workers do have the option of refusing to sign the policy, it is usually possible to fire them for declining.
No Drug Testing Statute in Texas Although many states have passed laws regulating or restricting an employer's right to require drug testing, Texas has not. Texas legislation does not address drug testing in private employment.
Can an Applicant Be Watched During a Drug Test? 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.
There are no specific employment laws that govern workplace drug testing, however, the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, the Privacy Act 1993, and the Human Rights Act 1993 include requirements that should be considered by employers, donors and testing agencies with respect to drug testing.
A drug screening consortium is an association of companies or groups of employers that join together, as a single entity, for the purpose of Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing of its members. The member companies add their employees to a combined random testing pool.
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.
