Minnesota Drug-Free Workplace
Minnesota has specific regulations regarding drug and alcohol testing in the workplace, primarily governed by the Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act (DATWA). Here are some key aspects of the law:
1. **Testing Conditions**: Employers can only request or require drug and alcohol testing under certain conditions as specified by the law. This includes testing job applicants after a conditional offer of employment has been made and testing employees under specific circumstances such as reasonable suspicion of drug use, following a workplace accident, or as part of a routine physical examination.
2. **Written Policy Requirement**: Employers must have a written drug and alcohol testing policy that meets Minnesota's legal requirements. This policy must be provided to employees or job applicants before testing, and it should outline the conditions under which tests can be conducted, the testing process, and the rights of those being tested.
3. **Rights of the Individuals Being Tested**: Individuals subjected to testing have certain rights, including the right to a confirmatory retest if the initial test is positive, and the right to explain positive test results possibly due to prescription medications. Employers are required to cover the costs of these tests.
4. **Definitions and Scope**: The statute defines key terms such as "confirmatory test," "drug," and the scope of substances tested for. Notably, the definition of "drug" excludes marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinols, cannabis flower, and cannabis products as per specific Minnesota statutes.
It's important for both employers and employees in Minnesota to be familiar with DATWA to ensure compliance with state laws regarding drug and alcohol testing in the workplace. For more detailed information, you can refer to the full texts of the statutes on the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes website.
