Where can I find a workplace drug testing policy template?

Question

I don't want to hire an attorney to draft the whole thing. I rather find a good drug testing policy template and then give the attorney to review it. That way it will be quicker (and I bet 90% cheaper). Any ideas where I can find a template corporate drug testing policy. Something reliable. I would not mind paying a little for a good template to start. I just can not pay $4-5k for the whole thing, we are small company.

Answer 1

http://www.employersgroup.com/index.shtml
http://www.shrm.org/
http://www.humanresources.org/index.cfm
Any of these sites offer policy templates. Check with your HR exec who may already be a member, since you need membership to access certain site features.

Answer 2

There are no regulations on drug testing nor any privacy issues. Offer your employees the chance to keep their jobs by paying $70 for the test which you can perform yourself by buying the kit at Walmart for just under $10 and with the balance of the funds set up a video camera in the bathroom. Some of the drug testing facilities in the larger cities take bribes lately.

Answer 3

From my research on the Internet, I understand laws and regulations differ in different States.

This link seems to provide a clear and organized template that you can customize for your needs:

I also found a pdf document that gives specific drug-policy info for businesses in Maine:

Unless you business is located in Maine, the first link would probably be of help to you.
