Q: If we have a drug or alcohol test into a day off – or with a long, delayed process – is there any additional compensation?
The compensation for a drug or alcohol test improved from $15 to $30 per test.
There would not be an adjustment to duty if the test took a long time – this is industry standard.
However, calling out fatigue is an option if necessary. Additionally, provisions regarding delayed transportation still apply.
We need to abolish unfair practices, whether or not they are considered, “industry standard.” I wish that excuse would be considered invalid.
