ganderson88310 asked:


I am a New Mexico resident and was just offered a nice position with what appears to be a pretty good company. The only condition was that I pay for my pre-employment drug test. I have worked for SEVERAL companies over the years, and have probably submitted to at least 50 tests… but have never been required to pay for the test.
I am questioning the LEGALITY of this in New Mexico and am looking for a specific website or document that I can use to verify the facts. I appreciate everyone who is quick to give a “yes they can” or “no they can’t” answer… but I am really interested in the written law, and where I might find said writing.

Thanks in Advance,

Kathryne
