Does Rue21 drug test?

Question

Matthew Zane · Accepted Answer

No, Rue 21 does not drug test potential hires. The company also does not participate in random drug screenings of current employees. While this is the case, Rue 21 does hold the right to drug screen current employees in certain situations.

The scenarios in which current employees of Rue 21 might be drug tested include:

When they are suspected of being intoxicated at work
When they are involved in a workplace accident
When they 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. It is unclear what type of drug test the company uses in these situations as it is a process that is completed by a third-party drug testing lab.
