Who pays for a drug test? Does an employee have to be paid for time spent having a drug test?

Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace
First, it is important to note that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not regulate the area of workplace drug testing. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), an employer normally pays for a drug test. Also, time spent having a required drug test is generally considered hours worked (and thus compensable time) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is a DOL regulation, for employees covered by the Act.
