Letter of admittance - failed drug test
My son works a government job - very entry level job, takes phone calls, writes emails and just answer enquiries about specific things and sometimes need to drive out to talk to people. His 21st birthday was two fridays ago and he told me did a strong drug on friday night during his party with some friends (starts with a c, not sure if i can type it here).
The next week his team was all randomly drug tested and he obviously failed, he was retested in a clinic and his employer put him on a special paid leave. He went in for a meeting and they want him to sign a letter of admittance. He only tested positive for the one thing he doesnt use any other substances and this was the first drug test in 3 years theyve had.
Im pretty sure they can just fire him but my question is why do they want the letter? Is there potential they want the letter to offer him a warning and he can somehow keep his job? Or do they need it to fire him as it is additional evidence for them? Just want to know whether he should do the letter? Or just resign? Or whether he should be consulting with someone? Thanks for reading.
