Massachusetts Drug Testing FAQs

Do employers in Massachusetts need to comply with mandatory state-specific rules when drug & alcohol testing?
Yes. Massachusetts has rules based on court decisions versus legislative actions.
Is a Drug-Free Workplace policy required in Massachusetts?
No, however, employers are strongly encouraged to have a written policy in place (Policy is specifically required to comply with the states’ voluntary law).
What are some compliance requirements in Massachusetts?
Random testing is limited to safety-sensitive employees only.  Employers should only conduct post-accident testing when they have reason to believe the individual(s) caused or contributed to the incident.
Are employers in Massachusetts able to use drug screening for any other claim defenses or state-specific financial benefits?
Yes. Employers may be able to leverage an ‘Intoxication’ defense to a Workers’ Compensation Claim, based on a positive drug test result. However, no specific rules exist. A positive drug test may also make an employee ineligible for unemployment compensation if terminated for misconduct. Employers wishing to leverage either of these benefits must voluntarily comply with very detailed program rules.
Does Massachusetts authorize marijuana (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD) use?

Massachusetts has authorized the personal adult use and the medical use of marijuana. While employers are still permitted to enforce workplace policies and are not required to accommodate marijuana use while at work; the state’s medical marijuana law does limit employer actions. Employers are prohibited from discriminating against a qualified person due to their status as a medical marijuana patient.

Can I be fired or lose a job offer in Massachusetts if I fail a drug test?
In Massachusetts, if you test positive on a drug test it cannot be grounds for termination or a rescinded job offer.
What are the medical and recreational marijuana-related rules in Massachusetts?
