Staffing Drug Testing
Staffing agencies usually handle all company recruiting duties, including staffing agencies' drug testing if the client requires it. Pre-employment drug testing often becomes a part of the hiring process to ensure that job applicants are not under the influence of illegal substances.
Whether a company insists on drug testing job applicants usually depends on their job position. Some businesses are required by law to drug test their employees and candidates. However, some employers choose to drug test their applicants and employees even if it's not required by the law to protect their company from potential liabilities.

ORDER MOBILE DRUG TESTLaws and Regulations for Drug Testing in Staffing
Staffing agency drug tests include pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, random, and post-accident drug testing. No laws prohibit drug testing for staffing agencies or mandate it for private employers. However, staffing agency drug testing laws can vary by state, so ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations is crucial. Here are some of the laws and regulations you must follow when drug testing applicants or employees:
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935
In 1935, the National Labor Relations Act was passed to encourage collective bargaining and protect workers' complete freedom of association. Under this act, all drug testing policies for unionized workers must be presented, negotiated, and agreed upon by the union.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was created to prohibit businesses from discriminating against job candidates or employees based on nationality, race, religion, or sex and to ensure that all employees are treated equally.
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993
Another law employers must comply with is the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. This act ensures that employees receive job-protected unpaid leave for medical reasons. However, the employees must have worked for the employer for a minimum of a year and worked a minimum of 1,250 hours during that time. The act applies to private companies with at least 50 employees and all public employers. Under this policy, employees are entitled to twelve weeks of unpaid leave to address personal or family needs while their job is protected.
The Americans With Disabilities Act
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) must be followed by all employers with over fifteen employees. This act ensures that no one is discriminated against because of disability, including people who have recovered from alcohol and drug abuse and completed their substance abuse treatment. This act is designed to safeguard qualified individuals with disabilities from discrimination and ensure they are not unfairly excluded from job opportunities or subjected to adverse actions due to their disabilities.
