What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
My employer is going to drug test employees at our auto shop next week. Drug testing was not a requirement for employement when I got hired three years ago. The testing is performed by a company employee on company property in the restroom. This testing is spontaneous. Our company has no employee handbook, no company policies. The owner micromanages all 30 employees from the hip. I have never signed any document about a drug free work environment. I feel as if this is being used to threaten my job. I understand drug testing is neccesarry, but is there a a proper way to do it? This seems all wrong to me.
Is my employer trying to catch people breaking the law by breaking the law himself? Is my employer out of line? What should I do?
