Does Pet Supplies Plus drug test?

Question

Justin Parker · Accepted Answer

Yes, Pet Supplies Plus drug tests potential hires. The company drug tests all potential hires on their first day of orientation. The test is a dot urine five-panel test administered through a third-party medical facility.

A dot urine five-panel drug test screens for these substances:

Cannabis
Cocaine
Opiates - opium and codeine derivatives
Amphetamines and methamphetamines
Phencyclidine - PCP

Pet Supplies Plus also requests a drug test for an employee who is showing signs of being intoxicated or addicted to drugs while working. The company's facilities adhere to strict safety protocols and being intoxicated on the job may even be viewed as a criminal offense.

If an employee fails a drug test for the company, disciplinary action may be taken against the employee, including termination. And possibly even criminal prosecution, if the actions of the employee put co-workers' lives or any animals' lives in danger.
