Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (NC)

Summary

This template is a standard drug and alcohol testing policy for use by North Carolina employers. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template is intended for private employers and may be included in an employee handbook or distributed as a standalone document. For a non-jurisdictional employee handbook, see Employee Handbook. In conjunction with this document, you should come up with protocols for implementing elements of, and disciplining employees under this policy. This template's language has been customized to comply with North Carolina and federal law. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy (with Acknowledgment).
