A recent study by the National Chamber of Commerce has identified the following. The national average estimate for the cost of substance abuse to a company per user is $7,000 in lost productivity, accidents, absenteeism and replacing fired and suspended employees. Use the following formula to estimate the cost of employee substance abuse in your business: 1. Estimate the percentage of your total number of employees that use drugs. The national average is 17 percent. 2. Multiply the number of employees you have by this percentage. 3. Multiply that by the national average cost per substance abuser ($7,000). 4. The result is the annual cost of substance abuse within your company This is why you should drug screen your employees randomly as well as pre-employment.
