INITIAL NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES OR CANDIDATES FOR EMPLOYMENT:
In accordance with 13 NCAC 20.0401, the notice below explains
your rights and responsibilities under the North Carolina Controlled
Substances Examination Regulation Act (CSERA).
You may refuse this test; however, your job or
employment opportunity may be in jeopardy.
Candidates may be screened for controlled substance
by means of a “quick test;” any positive results must be screened
and must be confirmed by an approved lab using gas chromatography
with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or equivalent scientifically accepted
method before hiring decisions are made.
Current employees cannot be screened for controlled
substances by means of a “quick test.”
An approved laboratory must perform controlled
substance testing of samples.
You can request a retest of any sample positive
for controlled substances. Re-tests must be of the same sample
and must be paid for by the employee.
You can file a complaint with the N.C. Department
of Labor, (919) 807-2796 or 1-800- LABOR-NC, if you believe procedural
requirements of the CSERA were violated. The Department has no
jurisdiction regarding OPC Area Program's requirement for controlled
substance testing or its decisions regarding results of controlled
substance testing.
