How long for lab results?

[xsteve]

First off, i would like to thank everyone who answered any questions i have have this past week. I really appreciated the responses. I was wondering about how long does it take from the time you piss in a cup to hear any results? In my case it is a preemployment drug test. Thanks again

I looked in the archives and didn't find anything on how long lab results take. The guy that interviewed me said it could be a week to a week and a half. Does that sound right?

Would that include the weekend? Took the test on thursday at 9:00 am and now it is monday and haven't heard anything. Wouldn't they have to notify me of a positive or dillute result or do they just notify the employer that payed for the preemployment test?

i have a friend who does the blood tests and he says they are usually done in less than an hour, most of the time it is near immediate, but they have a policy that only certain people are allowed to tell people the results. id imagine its the same with urine tests
