How do I implement a random drug testing policy?
HRCalifornia
California is very sensitive to individuals' right to privacy, and the state constitution places strict restrictions on drug testing.
Random drug testing, which is when an employer informs employees they may have to submit to a drug test at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, is extremely limited in California and generally not permitted.
Random drug testing has been upheld in specific narrowly defined job classifications, such as drivers of large trucks under Department of Transportation guidelines and aviation personnel.
