______________________

Recruitment and Retention presenting you with some challenges in your workplace?

Best practices for drug testing in the workplace:

  • Make sure your City has a policy in place before any employee is drug tested

  • Review “safety sensitive” positions – Update job descriptions to ensure safety sensitive duties and responsibilities are clearly specified

  • Do NOT put employees in the random pool that are not safety sensitive

  • Do NOT ask to see an employee’s medical marijuana license

  • Use reputable testing facility

  • Keep matters confidential (need to know basis)
