Reasonable Suspicion and Responding to Substance Abuse for Supervisors

Some organizations have drug and alcohol testing programs, while others do not. If your organization does have a program, “reasonable-suspicion testing” is when an employee is directed to undergo a drug or an alcohol test based on signs or symptoms that the employee is under the influence of a substance. Reasonable-suspicion testing should be based on observable factors like behavior, appearance, and body odor, not on rumors or hearsay. As a supervisor, you may be responsible for making reasonable-suspicion determinations and deciding when to refer an employee for a drug and alcohol test. If your company does not have a drug and alcohol testing program, you still must act if you believe an employee is under the influence at work or involved with ongoing substance abuse. Like with reasonable-suspicion testing, supervisors at organizations that don’t have testing programs must base actions on what they observe.
