Workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits may be denied to an employee for deliberate misconduct in violation of the employer’s standard rules or enforced policy.
A drug free workplace policy should be in place.

 Time required for testing existing employees is considered compensable work time.
Costs for drug tests must be paid by the employer.

Employers may not discriminate by testing only certain groups of employees by race or gender for drug testing.

Nor, may they defame an employee by publicizing an employee’s positive test results.
