The company wants an employee with a slight injury to go to the Workers Comp clinic to be looked at and also have a drug test administered. However, this employee has no intention of opening a Workers Comp claim. Can the employer legally force the employee to go to a Workers Comp clinic to be looked at and be administered a drug test?

i don't think they can be forced to file a claim, but the company will be within their rights to require that the employee, sign a waiver or release stating they will not sue if there is trouble from the injury later on. call your local labor board for some advice.

I'm thinking they just want you to be check out to make sure the injury isnt anything serious. However they might also be thinking the type of injury sustained could only happen by someone who was impaired at the time. This might be the reason for the drug test. GOOD LUCK if you have nothing to hide just go to the doctor and get checked.
