Drug And Alcohol Testing: Understanding Employer Obligations
Do you own, manage or work for a California business that plans to require drug and alcohol testing for prospective new hires? Before you proceed, consider hiring an experienced employment law attorney to ensure that you follow all applicable state and federal laws.
