    Failed Several Random Drug Tests at Work
    My question involves a background check in the State of: Florida

    Between 2003 and 2006, I was issued several (4, maybe 5) random drug tests at my place of employment, a regional bank. I was very young college student and not aware of the consequences of my actions hence, I was not obeying all laws on the weekend. After, the drug tests were taken, I never was requested to formally meet with my employer to discuss the results so I assumed that my drug tests had cleared negative. Occasionally, I would hear comments from other co-workers about my weekend "fun" but I thought nothing of it, just the usual colleague banter. I have since moved onto other jobs, schools, and organizations, and I am being consistently harassed about a positive drug test and being an "addict." So years later, I am assuming that I probably tested positive on one or two of the tests. This has actually affected my career progression and reputation, and possibly employment applications that I have submitted over the last few years. Is this information confidential? Am I included in a database of past "users" or is this showing up on some work report under my name? If so, how do I get these records resolved or sealed? Thanks...

    If you tested positive, you would have been informed.

    There is no database of people who have failed work ordered drug tests, it's illegal for employers to release that information.

    Read here and here.
