Does Merry Maids drug test?

Question

Justin Parker · Accepted Answer

Yes, Merry Maids drug tests both potential hires and current employees. The company states that it holds the right to randomly drug screen current employees. Merry Maids uses a urine test to screen candidates for drugs. This is performed at a third-party medical facility of the company's choosing.

The drug test used by a third-party lab is a standardized five-panel urine test. This can detect the five most commonly abused drugs and substances:

Cannabis
Cocaine
Opiates
Amphetamine
PCP

The company also holds the right to use other drug tests on its employees, such as hair tests.

The only times the company requests a drug test for current employees are when:

They are suspected of being intoxicated at workThey are involved in a workplace accidentThey experience a work-related injury

In any of these instances, a failed drug test can result in disciplinary action, including termination, and possible criminal prosecution, if the employee has endangered the lives of their co-workers.
