I was a manager for a title loan company since 2012. April 20th, 2015 my area manager came to my store and told me that she was taking me to a random drug screening. En route we also picked up another manager for a drug screening. On the way back I openly admitted that I smoke Marijuana, and have for over 10 years and informed her that I would not pass the test. The next day I asked if there was reasonable suspicion to drug test me. She said no, I got an email from my boss stating that you were to take a random drug test. April 27th I received a call from the lab testing company stating the results were indeed positive for THC. May 1st, 2015 I was terminated. I filed for unemployment thinking because the amount of time I worked there I would be eligible. It was denied because "
Facts establish that the terms or conditions of an employment agreement required the drug test and/or that the
employer had reasonable suspicion of drug use by the claimant. And to my knowledge as of today 5/21/15 There have been no more "Random" drug screening. It was the very first time it occurred. It all seems shady to me, I didn't know the lab testing company called with results. Why wait 2 weeks to terminate me. Why after 3 years at a job am I being drug tested. I didn't get injured, supposedly there wasn't reasonable suspicion. I just need advice.
