Question

Your employer, a correctional facility, has a random drug testing policy and an employee named Bob Bones has been selected to provide a urine sample. Your employer contracts with an outside laboratory, MLS, to collect and test the results. Bob is accompanied to the restroom by a female MLS employee who provides Bob instructions on the testing process. Bob is asked to go into a bathroom stall leave the door open and provide the sample while the MLS employee stands about 3 feet away from Bob. Bob's back is to the MLS employee the entire time. Does this constitute an invasion of privacy?

Explanation / Answer

Workplace drug test is a common process which is used in each and every organisation. As most of the organisations have a contract regarding the drug testing policy as well as the observation listed on the contract, there is no such thing as invasion of privacy as long as the employee is comfortable with the specific situation of the specimen.
This is specific situation does not violet the law of invasion of privacy as it directly offers at a situation for providing a specimen and included in the policy of the company.
