Does my company need a letter of consent prior to implementing a employee drug test?
Generally, you do not need any kind of consent from the employee to require a drug test. It does depend on your jurisdiction and on what kind of testing is involved. For example, in Oregon, in order to test for *alcohol* the employer must have either the employee’s consent or reasonable grounds to believe the employee was actually under the influence at work. That is not required with drug testing, which can be random, for reasonable suspicion, or based on a workplace incident.
