Does Visa drug test?

Question

Justin Parker · Accepted Answer

Yes, Visa drug tests potential employees and current employees in most cases. The credit card company also has a drug screening policy for current employees that can result in some being requested to take random drug tests.

Visa has a strict drug-free workplace policy; this is reflected in the company's drug screening during the pre-employment process and the right it holds to randomly drug test current employees. The company requires a drug screening for all potential hires and does ask current employees to submit to a drug test in certain circumstances.

Visa asks candidates to take a urine drug test at an independent lab in order to be considered eligible for employment. The company also requests a drug test for employees that are under suspicion of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while working. Visa uses a full panel drug test to screen for substances.

Here are the substances that are screened for in a full-panel drug test:

Cocaine
Cannabis
PCP
Amphetamines
Opiates
Benzodiazepines
Barbiturates
Methadone
Propoxyphene
Quaaludes
Ecstasy (MDMA)
Oxycodone/Percocet

If an employee exhibits signs of being intoxicated or addicted to drugs while on the job, a drug test is requested. If the results indicate drug use, Visa may take disciplinary actions against the employee, including termination.

It is unclear what the organization's policy on cannabis is in states where it is legal to use the drug for medical and/or recreational purposes. It does not give any public information on this issue.
