Do the five days within which an employee is given to obtain a medical evaluation after providing an insufficient amount of urine or breath include holidays and weekends, or does this refer to five business days?

  • The five-day limit for obtaining an examination by a licensed physician refers to business days. 
  • Therefore, holidays and weekend days should not be included in the 5-day time frame.
