The success (or failure) of your business depends on your workforce so finding the right talent for your organization is crucial.

Most Americans may not give it much thought but where we live, work, and play matters as each of the 50 states has its unique laws.

If you can remember those civic lessons in school, the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that all powers not granted to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people.

Companies considering workplace drug testing programs should weigh the risks and rewards of implementing or not implementing testing.

“Employers must provide a safe work environment, and they want to ensure their employees are productive, but is maintaining a drug-testing program in furtherance of these goals worth the hassle?” Lisa Nagele-Piazza asks in a SHRM article. “The answer may depend on the workplace.”

Florida, like many states, has a drug-free workplace program that regulates and encourages companies to do drug testing. According to Nolo.com, “Florida employers who establish such a program can qualify for a discount on their workers' compensation insurance premiums. 

However, employers must follow the state's rules to get their discount. Florida employers must test in certain circumstances and must observe certain procedures intended to protect employee and applicant rights.”
