Types of Tests: 1. Urine Drug Testing: Prospective employees will be required to provide a urine sample, which will then be analyzed to detect the presence of illicit substances, including but not limited to marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and benzodiazepines. 2. Hair Follicle Testing: In addition to urine drug testing, Wake North Carolina may also conduct hair follicle testing as part of the pre-employment screening process. This type of testing provides a longer detection window for drug use and is considered highly accurate. 3. Saliva Testing: In certain cases, Wake North Carolina may opt for saliva testing, which is a non-invasive method that can detect recent drug use. Saliva samples will be taken using swabs and analyzed for the presence of illicit substances. Procedure: Upon receiving a job offer from Wake North Carolina, prospective employees will be informed about the requirement to undergo pre-employment drug testing. Detailed instructions on scheduling the test and the designated testing facility will be provided. The cost of the drug test will be covered by Wake North Carolina. Confidentiality: It is important to note that all drug test results will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Access to the test results will be strictly limited to designated personnel involved in the hiring process. Your privacy will be respected throughout this procedure. Consequences of Non-compliance: Employees who refuse to undergo pre-employment drug testing may be deemed ineligible for employment, while employees who test positive for illicit substances may face disciplinary actions, up to and including termination. However, Wake North Carolina understands that some prescribed medications can produce a positive result and encourages employees to disclose such information prior to testing. Conclusion: Wake North Carolina takes the safety and well-being of its employees seriously, and the implementation of pre-employment drug testing is a vital step towards achieving a drug-free workplace. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe and productive working environment.
