    I am not a driver, but my employer uses DOT standard breathalyzer for testing. I have an employee that had to be tested during their shift, and they blew .053 the first time and the confirmation blow was .039. Am I reading the DOT standard correctly that the .039 is the results you use? Also I read that both test have to be within .002 of each other or the test is invalid?

    If I was an employer and my employee was working and blew anything but triple zeros they would be fired immediately. That aside, don't breathalyzers need to be calibrated fairly regularly?

    Wait a minute slick, you came here to ask a question, and then you insult people because you don't like the answer?

    Really?

    Here is a thought, hope your company has a really good lawyer because no matter what you think you can do to this employee, you need to get the cops involved to do a proper test. If it was me, even if I was drunk, I would have your sorry ***** in court for wrongful discharge just on the fact you don't know what you are doing.
