Vega Alta, Puerto Rico - Drug Testing

What Happens if You Fail a Drug Test in Puerto Rico?

If you fail an employer's drug test in Puerto Rico, you may not immediately lose your job. Under PR law, the first failure of a drug test is not considered "just cause" for dismissal. Instead, the employer must offer the employee an option to attend a drug rehabilitation program.

Before an employer can take any disciplinary action, they must also verify the results of the drug test through a confirming laboratory test. The employee or job applicant must also have the opportunity to provide the lab with information regarding any extenuating circumstances, such as having a prescription for the drug.

Drug Abuse Issues in Puerto Rico

While heroin is the most widely used illegal drug in Puerto Rico, cocaine is also a significant problem. It's estimated that 3 million pounds of cocaine reach PR each year and about 30% of that is consumed on the island.

Due to its location and proximity to Columbian drug cartels and Central and South American countries, the island has become a "natural gateway" for illicit drugs. Due to the high number of drug trafficking incidents, the Puerto Rican government imposes strict laws regarding the distribution and possession of illegal substances. For example, possessing marijuana for recreational use can result in a 10-year prison sentence.
