Assignment 4.1 When Is Drug Testing Permissible?

Employers are permitted to use drug testing to keep their workplaces safe. However, federal law does not permit unrestricted use of drug tests.

Using reading 4.1 and federal/state government (USA) sites on the Internet, write this paper to show that you understand the scope of laws relating to employee privacy and drug testing.
