while on the subject - I have heard of one private (not governmental) DOT employer who has a interesting solution for the fear of liability during that contact and report period. To avoid the fight for a DOT waiver and yet still accomplish a stand down, they exercise the right to perform an additional seperate(non-DOT) test whenever doing DOT testing. This non-DOT test is not MRO'd and they do stand down based on this test (pending the DOT MRO'd result) under their internal (non-DOT) employee policies. Ostensibly not under the jurisdiction of the DOT - but of course still under other labor and common law concerns.
