What you need to know right now is Pizza Hut’s drug-testing policies, as noted below.
Does Pizza Hut Drug-Test Employees?
According to its Code of Conduct, Yum! commits to a workplace that is free from illegal substances, bullying, harassment, among others. It prohibits the following actions:
-
Possession or use of illegal drugs while on duty or at the facilities
-
Working under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or other substances that can prevent an employee from their job safely and effectively
The parent company also cautions about employees’ unlawful actions involving the use of illegal drugs outside of work as these can affect Yum!’s reputation and may result in disciplinary action.
The Code of Conduct applies to Yum!’s subsidiaries, including Pizza Hut and its employees. While the code does not directly apply to franchisees, they are expected to establish standards and practices that ensure integrity, food safety, etc.
Preemployment Drug Testing
There’s little information about Pizza Hut’s testing prospective employees, such as those applying as delivery drivers, for illegal drugs. What can be gathered is the company does background checks on soon-to-be employees.
Drug Testing during Employment
Pizza Hut may ask an employee to take a drug test if they get into an accident while on the clock.
The Answer
It’s not confirmed whether Pizza Hut drug-tests potential employees, but be safe, and make the necessary preparations. By way of preview, check the Code of Conduct, which expects employees to work without impairment from drugs or alcohol and encourages those with substance-abuse problems to contact the Employee Assistance Program at 1-888-779-2224.
