Sample Letter for Response to a Positive Drug Test - Employer Subject: Georgia Sample Letter for Response to a Positive Drug Test — Employer Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the positive drug test result I recently received. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and drug-free work environment, and I appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Upon receiving the positive drug test result, I immediately sought additional testing and verification to ensure the accuracy of the result. I understand that it is important to use reliable methods when testing for drug usage, and I have taken the necessary measures to confirm the validity of the initial test. In Georgia, as an employee, I am entitled to certain rights and protections when it comes to drug testing. The Georgia Drug-Free Workplace Act (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-410) sets guidelines for drug and alcohol testing in private-sector workplaces. It requires employers to adopt drug-free workplace policies explaining the prohibited conduct, testing procedures, and potential consequences for violations. These policies should also provide employees with an opportunity to explain positive test results. I would like to request a confirmatory test to be conducted by an independent laboratory as allowed under the Georgia law. This confirmatory test would provide a more accurate and reliable result. It is crucial to ensure the fairness and accuracy of drug testing procedures to protect both the employer's interests and the rights of the employees. I strongly believe that the confirmatory test will negate the initial positive result, demonstrating my commitment to maintaining a drug-free workplace. I am fully aware of the impact that substance abuse can have on job performance, safety, and overall well-being. Therefore, I am willing to cooperate with any assistance programs or counseling that may be required if the test results remain positive. I assure you that this positive drug test result is an isolated incident and does not reflect my dedication, reliability, and professionalism as an employee. I understand the trust placed in me and the company's commitment to upholding a safe work environment. Furthermore, I kindly request that you consider the information provided and the forthcoming results of the confirmatory test before taking any further action. Furthermore, I am committed to working towards a resolution that ensures compliance with company policies while safeguarding my rights as an employee. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am available to discuss any concerns or questions you may have regarding the positive drug test result. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Number] [Contact Information]
