Fired After a Workplace Drug Test in Minnesota? Know Your Rights

Our experienced employment attorneys have guided countless workers in understanding their drug testing rights, ensuring fair treatment, and protecting their careers.
 

Minnesota has some of the strongest workplace drug testing protections in the nation. If you've lost your job due to a drug test, you may have legal options. Our employment law team at Wanta Thome has helped hundreds of workers challenge improper testing procedures and unfair terminations.

Did your employer follow all required testing protocols? Were you given proper notice? Did they offer rehabilitation options before termination? These details matter - and they could be the difference between wrongful termination and a legal dismissal.

We understand how devastating unexpected job loss can be—especially when proper procedures weren't followed. Many workers don't realize that Minnesota law provides significant protections around workplace drug testing.
Even with a positive test result, employers must follow strict protocols before termination is legal.
Your career shouldn't end because of a single test, especially if your employer didn't follow proper procedures or respect your legal rights.
