St. Luke’s University Health Network began screening all applicants for nicotine on May 1, 2010.
Yes, with the exception of New Jersey-based positions, which may include the Warren Campus and any NJ-based physician practices.
Yes, in Pennsylvania. Users of nicotine are not in a legally protected class. Non-nicotine hiring policies are legal in 20 states including Pennsylvania. In 1987 a Federal Appeals Court ruled that smokers are not a “protected class” entitled to special legal protections and that courts need no further rationale than the Surgeon General’s warning on cigarette cartons: Cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health.
The testing is part of the urine drug screen done at the time of the pre-employment physical. Nicotine test results are on a pass/fail basis.
Yes. Applicants can re-apply six months after they have failed the nicotine screen.
The health risks and related costs associated with nicotine use have caused St. Luke’s to focus on this in its initiative to have a healthier workforce and to contain the costs of providing health care benefits to its employees and their dependents.
Any substance that contains nicotine will produce a positive result. In addition to cigarettes, this would include chewing tobacco, snuff, nicotine patch, nicotine gum, cigars, etc.
No. Only individuals who produce a dilute urine sample are retested as part of the pre-employment screening process. Retesting must be done within 24 hours of the original sample being given. If a second sample is also dilute, the job offer is rescinded.
When testing for nicotine, the lab has built in levels that would take into account the possibility of second hand smoke. Therefore, a positive result will mean the individual who tested positive is a nicotine user.
Yes, anyone completing the pre-employment physical process after May 1, 2010 for Pennsylvania-based positions will be tested for nicotine.
Yes, a listing of smoking cessation resources will be provided to any applicant who tests positive for nicotine.
The length of time nicotine stays in the system varies. Some of the variables include length of time a person has been smoking, number of cigarettes smoked, type of cigarette, depth and duration of inhalation, difference in the way each person’s body breaks down the nicotine, etc. Nicotine can stay in the system up to 30 days or more. It can even take weeks longer until the nicotine is depleted from the fat in the body.
Smoking one cigarette can produce a positive result depending on when the urine sample is taken.
St. Luke’s is committed to having a healthier workforce and containing healthcare expenses.
