The District will pay the employee the mileage rate currently in effect for travel conducted by the employee to comply with testing requirements. The District shall pay all cost associated with the administration of these procedures with the exception of an employee who requests the testing of the urine split sample. However, if the split specimen shows a negative result, the District will reimburse the employee for this cost. 3.
