Are Big Lots Drug Tests Mandatory?

At Employment Drug Testing.com you will read the following: The most common type of testing program is pre-employment. Courts have consistently upheld the legality of requiring a pre-employment drug test as a condition of employment. It is a best practice to obtain a consent and to clearly indicate drug testing is a requirement for employment.

That requisite is not met in the employment application.  It could, however, appear in the actual hiring paperwork.

At the Corporate website, the only hiring policy stated is that Big Lots is an Equal Opportunity Employer. That policy applies to them but there is the expectation that employees will understand and appreciate that policy.

You understand that this is not a question you can ask at an interview. You will have to accept the fact that you could be subject to random testing but probably not before you are hired.
