Work place drug test question

I have a friend who has been working for a company for several years as a food server.  She found out through the grape vine that very soon the employer is going to start testing employees for drugs.  As far as she knows she had never signed a paper to consent to doing this.  My question is does she have to take the test or does she have any legal grounds to not take it and still keep her job ?

I seriously doubt any company would drug test a food server.  Someone is f:cking with her.  

Depends on the company. If you're talking about your typical fast chain like Applebee's or Olive Garden, not a chance in hell. Some of the higher end restaurants or high end caterers might depending on clientele. Also, if rumors have been whispered of someone dealing on site, it might be a plausible thing to do. I've had to do tests for that reason in other businesses. If you're not using, nothing to worry about unless it just feels like an invasion of privacy.

If you do food servers you would have to do kitchen staff as well, I would think.

I’ve been in the restaurant business for 15yrs as kitchen staff at various levels for about half dozen different places no corporate chains & nothing super high end and never did any of them drug test Anybody, unless you showed up whacked out or caused a problem at work where they suspected drugs/alcohol, everything was cool.

Wouldn’t surprise me really if it’s a corporate chain (doesn’t take much to work in those type of kitchens people are easily replaceable)

A super high end place MIGHT but it would usually be done before you started employment, very odd to do it out of the blue, if it’s true they are probably going to lose about 80% of their kitchen staff as well… just from my own experiences kitchen staff likes to get F**cked up ….LOL

Where I used to live in Central Cali, every job had drug testing.  Both pre-employment and random.  Even in fast food.

But there was a big meth problem.

In my industry, it is very common and we also have to follow DOT rules.

They were always "witnessed" if there wasn't enough stage fright to begin with.  They recently stopped that.

If you don't use, no worries.  But if you did, it was hard to find work.

Neither "own" a conglomerate of courses to my knowledge.

I could be wrong though.

 

My guess would be closer to McConnell Golf...but don't know his location.

Kemper sports manages multiple courses and the Baltimore group owns multiple courses including Brunswick forest with Cape Fear National down near you. I worked for both companies once upon a time.

      Hornets Screwed in NBA Draft Lottey...Again

      By Ronnie Bass · Posted

      I agree it does seem the league is against Charlotte but the picks they've made have been questionable. They've had sure fire picks fall to them and they keep trying to build a army of forwards who cannot shoot for some reason lol. You got to make a move in offseason and or trade for scoring. I get the best aren't coming to Charlotte but theres been opportunities at solid players with experience, that would've come just to be the man here in Charlotte. They got to stop over thinking this in the draft too. Take the best scorers available! I'm hearing we need more size on the wing, a big man, great defender, etc. but nothing about scoring or a shot creator. This team has been terrible at shooting the rock especially from the perimeter and its a iso 3 ball league, no one plays defense or really runs an offense. This franchise does not do well with developing players either. I've seen too many guys take huge leaps once they were away from Charlotte which is concerning. And even more concering that they're taking developmental guys when they have no business doing so. So, All that to say take a proven scorer, high basketball IQ guy, a unpolished player will not survive here.
