When might an employer consider asking an existing employee to submit to a drug test?
Employers may ask an employee to submit to a drug test if there is a suspicion that the employee may be using or abusing drugs or alcohol. The employee might suddenly be exhibiting episodes of short-term memory loss, slow learning, confusion, anxiety and what appears to be toxic delirium. Also, some employers will perform a drug test if the employee is being considered for a promotion.
