SAID Item No.: 687
Topic(s):Laws and RegulationsSub-topic(s): Unemployment Compensation

Summary of Law(s) and Regulation(s):
The state law may deny benefits where there is a confirmed positive blood or urine drug test for drugs, provided the employee received a written warning pursuant to the employer's reasonable drug policy. A confirmed positive drug test conducted in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation's testing standards or standards shown by the employer to be otherwise reliable, provides a conclusive presumption of impairment. A refusal-to-test or tampering with a blood or urine test will also disqualify employees from eligibility for benefits.
Alabama Code §25-4-78 (Supp. 2005)
and
49 C.F.R. Part 40
