Question 1

what to do if i failed a pre-employment dot drug test?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand ?: If you failed the test, assuming it was interpreted by a medical review officer (MRO), am not sure you have any recourse, particularly if this was pre-employment.  If you ARE an employee, you should find out what protections you have and if you can appeal the test. If you are a union member, your union rep should have information on how to contest it. If you are NOT already an employee, not much.

Usually test for: marijuana, narcotics (morphine, percocet, vicodin, Methadone etc..), hypnotics (xanax, klonopin, (clonazepam) valium), cocaine, pcp, lsd, alchol. Best advice: just don't do it.

That depends: Some employers use "point of care" (POC) testing, and this can be read within minutes of the test.  If it is all negative then the results are available within those few minutes. However, if one or more of the tests are positive, it is generally sent to the reference lab for confrimatory testing, and this can takes several days or even a week or more, depending on how busy the lab is.
