For privacy purposes you can know me as Rick.
So I live in the low country in the beautiful state of South Carolina. I got an interview to work as an intern for an engineering firm. short story long I impressed them and they sent me an offer to work for them as a 'limited employee' meaning I don't get benefits or anything like that in early May. I started working a week later.
Now that you have a little background story it's time for my so called dilemma. When i got the offer it didn't say anything about drug-testing their employees so I didn't stop smoking, well the first day of work came and and they gave me paperwork to fill w2, proof that I can work in the US, and the dreaded employee handbook. When I opened the hand book and went to the table of contents I found a entry that said "drug free work place" I started to get nervous. I went to the page and it read something like this "all applicants are to give consent to per-employment drug testing" it also talks about drug testing if they have a reasonable belief. Well after I signed the employee hand book and all my paper work I was waiting for the HR to give me a date to get drug tested... but nothing! she explained the employee hand book and didn't even touch on the drug testing part of it. So I have stayed clean for 2 weeks waiting for them to tell me that I need to be drug tested... I'm about to enter my 3rd week and after my 21st birthday i'm dying to spark one up. what are your opinions based on experiences? they haven't mention anything about drug-testing and I'm hired even-though I didn't go through this so called per-employment drug test..
p.s. this is a small company compromised of no more than 20 employees.
