Add Comment Question: Is an employer supposed to drug test. Before firing you when they say they found drugs at your work area without even being present? Answer: An employer is not under an obligation to drug test you. In fact, they are quite limited in their ability to issue a random drug test unless you are in a safety sensitive position, or are suspected of being intoxicated at work at that time. If you were fired as a result of the drugs being found, please contact our office to discuss your case with one of our lawyers.
