While we do not pretend to know everything that there is to know about drug and alcohol testing, we do know about as much as one company can, and we are here to offer you some tips on budgeting for your drug screening and alcohol testing.
Workplace drug testing laws have made it so that certain industries MUST test their employees, but the truth is, you can implement drug screening any time you want, in your own company, for any reason. Now that you have determined that you wish to go ahead and hire a company to provide this service, consider the benefits of onsite drug and alcohol screening.
It is fast, efficient, cheap, and has incredibly high standards.
When budgeting, remember that you must make this a regular expenditure of your company’s finances. You cannot add it on as something which you will do if you have the extra money for it. It must be a regular occurrence, and you must plan on setting the money aside for it. If you do not, then you may run up against a wall concerning your drug testing schedule, and it is imperative that you be able to test your employees, no matter what. You never know when you will need to look at someone’s track record to make sure that they are living up to the company’s codes.
Alcohol and drug testing is very important in many circumstances. You must be able to know what is going on. Therefore, the second step for budgeting should be to allow for a little more testing or testing for a few more employees, just in case. There should be some room for movement in your budget. Onsite drug and alcohol testing will, generally, be cheaper than regular laboratory testing, since you are not paying for overhead costs. However, whatever form you choose, remember that many companies under-budget for their requirements.
