The answer to this depends on a lot of factors. The primary one is whether or not there is a collective bargaining agreement or labor union at your workplace. If there is not, the general rule in the United States is that employers are permitted to negotiate with different workers independently and pay them different wages. However, like all general rules, it is subject to caveats, such as if the wage difference is due to racial, religious, gender, or age discrimination, among others.

If you feel that you are not being paid adequately at your job compared to others who do the same work you do, you may wish to have a specific legal opinion from a lawyer. WikiAnswers is not a lawfirm nor can it dispense any legal advice. This answer also does not create any form of attorney-client privilege nor can it be relied upon to be a complete and/or accurate portrayal of the law as it applies to your situation.

Yeah, before you are hired. It takes them only a couple of days to get the results but if there is something in your system the toxicology lab will call you first and ask if you are on any prescribed drugs before giving the results to the employer. If you are they can not disclose that positive result to the employer.
