Please seek legal help or union representation if you need it. Note: A blog article is not a substitute for legal advice. I wrote this post as an easy to understand guide to help potential federal employees understand federal employee drug testing policy and federal employee drug testing laws. While you would think that information on federal employee drug testing might be obvious, there are numerous rules and regulations that might apply to your specific job.
However, if you’re considering applying for a federal job, you will want to understand all of the rules and regulations involving drug testing for federal employees. In fact, many federal employees are not regularly drug tested. Shocking fact: I have never been drug tested as a federal employee.
