They usually only tell the employer if the test was 'positive' for a substance.

On top of that, there are two tests that are done. A thin-layer chromatography (assuming its urine). That test has a HIGH limit, something like 30ng/dl. That's like if you've smoked in the last week or so. If you test 'pos' on that test, then they use a Gas-Chomatography/Mass Spec. This has an insanly LOW limit, like 2-5ng/dl. If you test 'pos' on that one, then they ruled out a false 'pos' and notify the employer.
