Alabama Drug Testing Law

Workers' Compensation Premium Discount Act There is a state law that provides a five percent discount to employers who establish a drug-free workplace program in compliance with the act. In order to qualify for the benefit, the program must include a written policy, employee education, supervisor training, resources of employee assistance providers, pre-employment, post-accident, reasonable-suspicion, and rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation drug testing. Employers must have their program certified in advance by the Department of Industrial Relations in order to receive the premium discount.
Workers' Compensation The state's workers' compensation law may deny benefits if the employee's injury was due to intoxication from the use of alcohol or being impaired by illegal drugs. A "positive" drug test performed in accordance with the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's regulations is considered a conclusive presumption of intoxication and, therefore, a valid basis for denial of workers' compensation benefits. An employee's refusal to undergo a drug test also is a valid basis for denial of workers' compensation if the employer warns the employee, in writing, that such a refusal forfeits the employee's right to compensation under the law.
