You should check with your state's Secretary of State to see if there are any restrictions in that state.\n\nIn CA at least, it is possible (though maybe not advisable). Below is an extract from the CA Code. See the last sentence:\n\n(7) A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a\nquorum of the board for the transaction of business. The articles or\nbylaws may not provide that a quorum shall be less than one-third\nthe authorized number of directors or less than two, whichever is\nlarger, unless the authorized number of directors is one, in which\ncase one director constitutes a quorum.

Regulatory agencies would include the FDA and the state Dept of Public Health. They usually do not get down to the detail of an improperly collected (urine?) sample for drug testing, unless it shows a pattern and affects results for a number of people.

All states, some counties, and the Federal government have standards for what is a cancer-causing level of a particular chemical.\n\nA California law known as "Prop 65" requires that any product sold in the state or manufactured or even imported THROUGH the state be labeled if the state deems it to contain cancer causing chemicals.\n\nSince California is a major port, industrial state, and has the largest population (over 10 per cent of the US total), most manufacturers find it more cost effective to print the required Prop. 65 warning on ALL products rather than risk a lawsuit.

If its a federal financial audit, they feds cannot access medical records, mental health or otherwise, they can only take a census of the number of patients, number of visits and number of services (i.e. counseling or lab test) provided.  The feds are subject to HIPPA privacy regulations as well, so essentially they shouldn't get their hands on actual charts unless they are released by a court of law.

Under HIPAA, nothing.  Discipline is in the hands of the employer, not the act.  Follow your policy and procedures in handling this matter.

I'm a 23yr veteran Texas peace officer. I don't know CA law but you might check to see if CA has a criminal law in the penal code that addresses avoiding legal process. In Texas, it is a criminal violation to intentionaly avoid civil process.

He should report them to OSHA. They regulate work environment rules. I think they will be fined and will probably have some other type of recourse taken against them. \n\nI also think he could sue, b/c it's a health hazard (as a CA resident myself) i see that these things are taken pretty seriously, so I'm sure he'd have a case. I think it totally sucks that this is happening though, what about talking to another manager in the company or human resources? \n\nUnfortunately, that i know if, you can't quit and ask for unemployment. You have to be layed off. But he wouldn't really make that much money that way anyways..\n\nGood luck!
