Drug tests rise to sack staff without redundancy pay
Quote:
Employers are increasingly using drug testing to get rid of staff without having to make redundancy payouts, as a way of *cutting costs during the recession, a *charity has said.
Sacking employees who test positive for illicit drugs allows employers to avoid making redundancy payouts. Cannabis, which can remain detectable for several weeks after use, is the substance causing the biggest problems for employees.
Re: Drug tests rise to sack staff without redundancy pay
That's almost as bad as the trick a previous employer did - they're currently in administration and somebody actually did the maths to work out it's cheaper to make a bunch of long serving, well paid members of staff redundant with no payout, ignore the laws and worry about the legal side and fines later than actually do things properly...
