No, there is no Federal requirement for a company to
implement drug testing simply because it has received a Federal contract. The
same is true for Federal grants. However, in accordance with the Drug-Free
Workplace Act of 1988, as amended, any company which receives a Federal
contract of $100,000 or more (or a Federal grant regardless of the amount)
must:
(1) have a written policy about the prohibitions and
consequences for drug use in the Workplace;
(2) provide education to employees on substance
abuse; and
(3) provide education for supervisors on the
administration of the policy and substance abuse awareness.
There is no requirement for testing or access to an
employee assistance program. Though the company is not required to have drug
testing solely because it has received a Federal contract or grant, it may be
required to have it based on some other requirement, such as the Federal
regulation mentioned in the previous answer.
