Testing That Holds Up in the Fair Work Commission
The Fair Work Commission upheld the dismissal of a worker who tested positive for methylamphetamine, reinforcing the importance of reliable drug testing. Expert toxicological evidence confirmed recent use, validating the employer’s decision. The case highlights that drug and alcohol testing must be scientifically accurate and legally defensible.
Why “Designed in Alignment” Isn’t Enough for Drug Testing
