Rule,

I will. I know he takes the test tomorrow & he should have the results by Friday at the latest. His test is different from mine. Mine was a 10 panel, urine test done at the bottling plant. His is a hair test done at a facility about a 1/4 mile away from their bottling plant. He’s gonna be there about 2-2 1/2 hours because they’re giving him a physical, a heart rate test and the drug test.

I still don’t know whether he should tell the lab about the suboxone or not. The company does everything by oshaa standards so I imagine its illegal to deny anyone a job based on taking a legally prescribed medication, but I don’t know for sure. I understand his concern- I wouldn’t want to tell anyone I was on subs if i didn’t have to either..

It looks like its still a case by case basis with regards to suboxone and pre employment drug testing. I’m no closer to knowing how to handle it, that’s for sure.
