Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Can an employer terminate an employee for refusing a post accident drug test in California if, the employer has already required the employee to drive the involved vehicle, over 25 miles, to the shop? Or should that have eliminated any suspicion from the employer?

I see no reason why the employee acted improperly here, particularly if there is a policy in place requiring a drug test after an accident. The test could be used simply to eliminate any lingering doubt, a change in suspicions after the care was driven to the shop, or any number of other things.

If you have any questions, you should consult with a plaintiff-side labor lawyer in your area.
