Pay for own pre employment drug test out of pocket?
Green OS here and just got a super last minute job with a company in Alaska (not gonna name it). Was told to do a drug test. And to basically be there in 2 days from now. Little did I know the company is expecting me to pay for my own drug test out of pocket. Is this normal for the industry? I’ve never experienced something like this ever and I’ve worked for some shitty places in my day. Feels cheap like if they are willing to cheap out on something like this I wonder what other corners they’d cut to save a dollar? Makes me want to pass and hold out on something else.
