For Employers

Retail Drug Testing

Retail hires in waves, handles cash and inventory, and needs a program that supports loss prevention without becoming a bottleneck at onboarding.

Why retail tests

Theft, customer safety, and seasonal volume make consistent, fast screening valuable β€” especially for stockroom and equipment roles.

The right program

Volume pre-employment plus reasonable-suspicion testing for incidents. A 12-panel fits most roles.

How LabX serves retail

Prepaid bundles, barcode registration, and 24–48 hour turnaround for seasonal ramps.

Talk to a licensed physician

Test results support workplace decisions but are not a medical diagnosis. Anyone with questions about a result or their health should talk to a licensed physician. Employer screening results are reviewed by licensed and trained Medical Technologists; LabX does not currently offer Medical Review Officer (MRO) review, and employers can speak with a LabX toxicologist about a result. See our medical disclaimer.
