Referrals to jobs with drug test requirements
When you are referring a partner to a drug tested job, you should:
- consider if the job is suitable for the partner, regardless of the drug test
- let the partner know that the employer may require them to pass a pre-employment drug test
- ask the partner if they would pass a pre-employment drug test and
- ensure the partner understands the potential consequences of failing a pre-employment drug test
There are certain situations where it may not be appropriate to refer a partner to drug tested jobs. In these situations you should consider that, because of the drug test requirements, the job is not suitable.
