Within seven days of receiving a positive test result, an employee/applicant can request,  and is entitled to, a retest of the same sample by a mutually agreed upon laboratory. Request for retest must be submitted within seven days of the positive test notification.

The cost of the retest will be at the expense of the applicant/employee.
