not had a topic done about this for a while. do you agree\disagree and why? i feel that if you have not been taking drugs on the job then it doesnt matter. There may well be a few exceptions to this rule, e.g something where peoples safety may be put at risk by you having taken drugs the night before etc.

however what you do in your own time is your own business and employers have no right to police your free time.
Do you feel guilty for getting paid for giving less than 100% or think it makes up for when you gave 120% the other week & nobody noticed?!
If your in a job that has a safety implication then you deff should not be under any influence & I would feel better if that company employed drug testing to protect me (the consumer) in the long run.
Do we know what the procedure would be if you were found to have drugs in your system? are they obliged to inform the police? what would be put on your reason for leaving ? Gross misconduct? Could really screw you up for future jobs as well....
