Gainesville GA Drug Testing
What Are Drug Tests Used For?
It's common for individuals, business owners, and legal representatives to seek drug testing in Gainesville, GA. From proving sobriety in child custody cases to verifying a potential employee's drug-free status, there are many reasons why a drug screening may be necessary.
Employment
In Georgia, drug testing is often a standard part of the hiring process. A pre-employment drug test in Gainesville can help employers make informed decisions about potential new hires. It can also be used to meet Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and satisfy the state's Drug-Free Workplace protocols. Georgia employers can also conduct random drug testing, post-accident testing, and testing on employees who return to work after an injury, surgery, or after returning from rehab following a failed drug test.
Court Mandates
If an individual has been arrested, the courts may require a drug test prior to sentencing or as a condition of bail or probation. Drug testing labs in Gainesville, GA are often a convenient option when serving probation in Hall County.
Child Custody
In the state of Georgia, custody is decided based on the child's best interest. It's common for Child and Family Investigators (CFIs), attorneys, and mediators to request drug tests to address claims of a parent's current or past drug use.
Georgia State Laws Around Employment Drug Testing
Regulations regarding employment drug screening in Gainesville are based on both federal and Georgia workplace drug testing laws.
Pre-Employment Testing Law & Regulations
If a potential employer asks an employee to take a drug test in Gainesville, it's possible that the employer participates in the state's Drug-Free Workplace Program, which provides employers with a 7.5% reduction in workers' compensation premiums. The program requires employers to conduct a pre-employment drug test after a conditional offer for employment has been made.
Even if an employer does not participate in the program, they are not prohibited from pre-employment drug testing, as long as it is done in a way that does not discriminate and that follows federal guidelines.
Workplace Accident Testing & Regulations
Georgia's Drug-Free Workplace Program requires employers to mandate a drug test if an employee "caused or contributed to" a workplace injury that resulted in a loss of work time. In addition, the Georgia code that established the Drug-Free Workplace Program (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-415), does not restrict or prohibit private employers from conducting drug testing in Gainesville, GA, as long as it's done in a legal manner.
Can Employers Test for Marijuana Even Though It's Legal in Georgia?
Yes, employers can test for marijuana in Georgia. Georgia marijuana laws do not allow for medical or recreational marijuana use, so employers are well within their rights to test for the presence of marijuana. Georgia employers may also enforce a zero-tolerance policy for employees or job candidates who test positive for marijuana. These laws makes Gainesville marijuana testing a common practice.
