Recommendations

The IRS Human Capital Officer should ensure that documentation is retained in a central location showing that all employees in TDPs have been notified that they are subject to random drug testing and that refusal to submit to testing will result in disciplinary action.

The IRS Human Capital Officer and Chief Counsel should complete union negotiations to have bargaining unit employees in TDPs randomly tested for illegal drug use.
