Workplace Drug Testing Laws For Alabama
Under Alabama law, a private employer can opt-in to the state Drug-Free Workplace program, which discounts workers' compensation premiums to those who comply.
This program intends to promote drug-free workplaces so that employers could maximize their productivity levels, enhance their competitive positions in the marketplace and reach their desired levels of success without experiencing the costs, delays, and tragedies associated with work-related accidents resulting from employee substance abuse.
Employers create a policy that conforms with the program and apply for a certification to be awarded the discount. Employers have no legal duty to implement a drug testing policy and have the sole discretion to follow the program.
The Alabama Administrative Code added supplemental provisions to the Drug-Free Workplace program that must be followed; employers should review all related statutes to ensure proper compliance.
Alabama’s Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment statute require that employees follow the Federal Department of Transportation procedures or similar reliable procedures.
