When and how to test employees legitimately.Many employers face the
task of testing employees for drug abuse in the workplace. Often, drug
testing is invasive and must be handled very carefully.
Drugs of abuse present many challenges to the
employer, particularly in regard to prevention and reliable detection.
Even though drugs are illegal and prohibited by law in South Africa,
employees cannot be forced to undergo a drug test. An employee must give
written consent and permission for the results to be communicated to a
third party. Therefore, it is advisable to include this in the
employee’s contract beforehand.
