Can an employer require me to take other types of pre-employment testing such as drug testing, medical examinations, vision exams, etc?
A. Yes, but unless you are applying for a security guard position, the employer or prospective employer cannot deduct the cost for this from the employee’s pay or require the employee or prospective employee to pay for the cost of such drug testing, medical examinations, visual exams, etc. The 2004 Security Officer Registration Act (N.J.S.A. 45:19A-1 et seq.) states that applicants for security guard positions are responsible for the payment of any registration costs with the State Police, which includes drug testing, fingerprinting, criminal background checks, etc. FAMILY LEAVE Q.
