Important Bulletpoints:	Every board of education in the State of New Jersey may require its employees and shall require any applicant awarded with a conditional offer of employment to undergo physical examination which includes testing for the use of controlled dangerous substances. Such tests shall be performed by a physician or laboratory designated by the Board with the costs of the tests shouldered by the Board. The law demands that the cost of any medical examination required by the employer as a condition of entering or continuing employment be paid or reimbursed by the employer and in no way shall be deducted from the employee’s wages. Any action of defrauding the administration of a drug test or producing a false or misleading result for a test for controlled substances constitutes a criminal act in New Jersey. A State Supreme Court decision allows for random drug testing but limited only to safety-sensitive occupations. Workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits may be denied of an employee due to willful negligence which includes intoxication or unlawful use of controlled dangerous substances.
