Question:

Can your employer run a drug test without your concent?

I live in Texas and I work at a place in which you have to do a health assessment for insurance purposes. Can they test my blood for illegal substances with the blood that they take from me for the assessment without concent?

Please serious answers only. I really don't care if you don't think I should smoke marijuana or not.. lol


Answers:

if it is company policy that all employees are drug tested prior to hire, you still need to give informed consent, however if you dont they dont have to hire you , nor do they have to give you a reason why they wont hire you. however if you were already hired and went through orientation and they did not inform you that you were going to be drug tested, they you can take them to court for wrongful termination, though it probably wont be worth it.
