An incident report was submitted by an employee that another employee was seen using drugs. After a positive result was drawn from the drug test, is it required to report the same to DOLE or other pertinent government agency? Also, if the drug test turns out negative, can the employer terminate the employee?

Dear Hyacinth Anne Cabading,

Thank you for your request dated Jan 29, 2024, 01:49:47 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You asked for the Handling of an employee caught using drugs.

The company’s drug prevention and control program shall include procedures for treatment, rehabilitation, and referral.

The Assessment Team is responsible for determining whether an officer or employee found positive for drugs would need referral for treatment and/or rehabilitation in a community-based drug rehab facility or DOH-accredited center. 

Following rehabilitation, the Assessment Team shall evaluate the status of the drug-dependent employee and recommend to the employer the resumption of the employee’s job if it is determined that he poses no danger to his coworkers and/or the workplace.

We hope that we have addressed your concerns.
