Employee misconduct and Unemployment benefits:

A  refusal to undergo testing or a positive drug test or testing positiv for controlled substances, as required by the employer’s established substance abuse policy, is classified as “misconduct”.

The employee is therefore ineligible for compensation with regards to claims for unemployment benefits.

Moreover, the employee may receive no workers’ compensation benefits  compensation for injury or death caused by the employee’s violation of the law including the illegal use of drugs or alcohol intoxication.

The burden of proof is on the employer.

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

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

 ADA compliance: An applicant who is taking medication for a disability is protected by the Americans With Disability act (ADA.)
