NOTICE TO JOB APPLICANTSNEWTON COUNTY’S DRUG SCREENING POLICY
Newton County has a strong commitment to its employees to provide a safe work environment and to promote high standards of employee health. The County also has a strong commitment to provide high quality public service. Consistent with the spirit and intent of these commitments, the Board of County Commissioners has determined that there is a compelling need for a county policy on drug use, which includes chemical testing for recent use of controlled substances.
Upon an offer of employment by the County and prior to final appointment, job applicants will be asked to consent to a controlled substance screening test. If the initial screening test indicates that the applicant has recently used controlled substances, the applicant will be notified of the test results.
Before a test is administered, applicants will be asked to sign a consent form authorizing the test and permitting release of test results to those county officials with a need to know.
If an applicant refuses to consent to a test, or if testing indicates use of controlled substances, the offer of employment will be retracted, and the applicant will be denied employment with the County. Applicants will be informed if they are rejected on the basis of test results.
All information from an applicant’s drug evaluation is confidential and only those with a need to know are to be informed of test results. Disclosure of such information to any other person, agency, or organization is prohibited unless written authorization is obtained from the applicant.
