i recently moved to Las Vegas and was confronted with the HUGE drug testing movement here. EVERYONE has to go for drug testing for ANY job. (banking to Jack in the Box, there is not getting around it.) So I submitted a required hair test against my will. Being as I had never heard of it, I looked it up online and read of HUGE false positive rates, and other scary facts that could affect my financial future. Scared, I bought a hair cleaning product. It worked beautifully. My question is this though. Now that I've taken the preemployment test, do I have to keep allowing them to test me any old time? I don't have enough hair for that. I have to say, the girl that gave me the form to take the test had thinnish hair, and they took a HUGE patch right off the top of her head. she had spiky hair growing back in and it was bad. They took 6 patches from the top of my hair, and I cried that night I felt so violated. How can this be legal? I feel bad about doing the test in the first place, but feeling the missing hair made it so much worse. Do I have any right to request only urine, or only taking hair from the BACk of my head instead of right on the noticable top?. Please help. Thanks.
