When checking a criminal record, you determine whether or not the person has committed any crimes. When you screen someone's piss for drugs, you are checking to see if they have committed any crimes. Whether or not it is a crime of a personal nature is irellevant, they are seeing if you have broken the law.
Employers check criminal records to see if a person has been Convicted of a crime, and sentenced by a court of law. In this country you are presumed innocent until proven guilty before a court of law, not until a private entity decides you have broken the law.

There's a time and place to be charged with a crime, and that is via legal means by Law Enforcement. Last time I checked, the local Hardee's was not Law Enforcement, and they weren't charging me with a crime for which my urine was required as evidence.
