I took one just 3 weeks ago. Mine was for workers comp. SOP after an injury.
Funny how this works, say you as a Temp employee are sent to work for a company knowing they will and can hire you full time after 6 months. For some reason a large number of well paid Temps. forget about the pee test, they pasted the one to be hired by the Temp company so now they have any kind of job they forget that they will get a $3.00 an hour raise when becoming a full time employee , benefits medical and dental, personal days off with pay and a paid vacation.
6 months go by, work is slow, no one is hired for a couple of months, then when business picks up out of the blue, you are told to go take a pee test for permanent employee. Way it works is the test is free if you pass, if not you are docked a weeks pay for the test and fired.
Sad, I have seen so many good workers that just walk out, they know they cannot pass the test so they collect their money and have to start all over again.
Some workers get desperate, they will pay someone to pee for them into a small bottle and tape it to their groin to keep it warm. Sometimes this works, not often, only known this to work just once in 22 years.
Problem as I see it is that Pot lasts a long time in the body's system where as if some one takes a hard drug it like Coke is gone in a few days. I do not know the life of the weird drugs today, so much changes from year to year, additives and monkeying around with the drugs themselves.
For health insurance purposes some company will not hire smokers. They go all out, for the workers no smoking on their property, or insist the smokers quit if they want their job. And if suspicious they will do piss tests for tobacco.
Now this would upset me if I worked in a Chicken factory and was told not to eat pork or beef, but if I needed the job, I could handle this for a few years.
