Medical Examinations

Employees who are new staff members or who have recently transferred to a new job may be required to submit to a post-offer medical examination, including drug and alcohol testing. Generally, the University will require a medical exam only when it is job related and consistent with business necessity (e.g., drug and alcohol testing and physical exams for individuals required to have a commercial driver’s license).

The University will require medical examinations only as permitted by state and federal law. Further, all medical examinations will be conducted in a manner that recognizes, to the maximum extent possible, an individual’s rights to privacy and confidentiality.

For questions or concerns about medical examinations, contact a supervisor, a department head, Human Resource Services, Employee Relations Section (West Lafayette), your relevant service team, or your regional campus human resources department for assistance.

Medical examinations may also be required if there is a concern about an employee’s ability to perform the tasks of their position in a safe and appropriate manner.
