Do Companies Drug Test Before Promotions

• Companies aren't legally required to do drug
  testing, but many of them have developed low- or
  zero-tolerance policies for their own purposes.
• Typically, drug tests are requested to ensure
  that the applicant or employee is not using
  illegal drugs or drinking excessively, which they
  fear may lead to problems at work.
• Another reason for drug testing is that it's
  simply good PR to have a firm drug policy and is
  generally bad PR for employees to use
  controversial substances like marijuana.

• Even with the best intentions, drug tests can put
  both privacy and job security at risk for those
  who responsibly enjoy substances such as
  recreational marijuana.
• The reality is that drug tests often threaten the
  income of otherwise productive, professional and
  honest employees.
• While drug testing may be meant to prevent the
  hiring of severe addicts who exhibit risky
  behaviors, many see it as questionable in terms
  of privacy rights and personal freedoms.

• While it is impossible to say for certain whether
  a particular company will require a drug test for
  a promotion, it is within the rights of employers
  to request drug tests at any time.
• Your company may indeed require a drug test as a
  condition of your promotion, particularly if they
  have suspicions.
• If your company requests a drug test before a
  promotion and you refuse, it is legal for your
  employer to take disciplinary action or even
  terminate you.

• As mentioned previously, there are immediate
  risks to the employee in the form of disciplinary
  action and/or termination from his or her job.
• Although results are usually kept confidential, a
  failed drug test can be embarrassing, affect
  confidence and create anxiety around future job
  applications and promotions.
• Depending upon the situation and applicable legal
  precedent, results may be shared with
  authorities. In 2016, the Pennsylvania
  Commonwealth Court gave the state Board of
  Nursing the right to subpoena drug test results
  from a nurse's employer.

• Once a drug test is requested of you, it is
  important that you immediately start preparing to
  pass.
• If you are concerned that recent use will show up
  on your test, there are various DIY methods and
  products you can turn to.
• Note there is always the risk of being caught
  using alternative methods to pass a drug test, no
  matter what method you use. If this happens,
  ClearTest does not assume any responsibility for
  the repercussions.

• If you need to pass an upcoming drug test as part
  of a promotion, start preparing by working to
  cleanse your body naturally as much as possible.
• Stop using any substances immediately.
• Drink lots of water to flush your system as much
  as you can.
• Try to avoid exercising too much, as the
  breakdown of fat cells could release stored
  chemicals from previous use.
