Important Bulletpoints:	The Michigan Penal Code states that it is unlawful for any employer to compel new hire or continuing employees to pay for the costs of a medical examination when requested by the employer. Violators may be penalized up to $100 for each instance of the violation. Whether or not employment drug testing is classified as a required medical examination has not been ruled on yet. Under the Drug Dealer Liability Act, the employer of an individual abuser may bring an action for damages against persons who participated in the illegal marketing of a controlled substance used by the individual abuser. Refusal to be subjected to a controlled substance testing administered in a non-discriminatory manner, as may be required by the employer as per set policy or procedure, is a basis for denial of unemployment benefits upon being discharged from employment. Likewise, getting discharged for testing positive for the use of illegal drugs or alcohol intoxication while at work are grounds for denial of unemployment benefits.
