What happens if an employee tests positive?
Laws on this subject vary form state to state. In most states, the employer must provide the employee with a name of an agency that provides help. In a few states, the employer must make a standing offer for future employment should the employee successfully complete rehabilitation. Some states dictate that the employer or a covering insurance plan pay for rehabilitation. It is best to check with legal counsel for the laws governing your state/states. In addition, agreements should be reached with unions if applicable.
