A later paragraph of the same article repeated it, except it used subjected to instead of subject to.
Bạn đang xem: Subject to something
I have sầu rarely seen the use of subjected to before. Is it legitimate in nayaritas.net as well? Why didn’t the author just keep it consistent by using subject to throughout the article? Does using varieties of forms enrich the expressions within an article?
I"ve sầu always understood them to lớn have sầu somewhat different meaning.
<...> employees are subject to testing <...>
Means that at any time they could be required to lớn be tested.
On the other hand,
<...> employees are subjected to testing <...>
would mean the employees are actually put through the testing.

"subjected to" means that an act was actually performed."subject to" means that the legal situation allows the act khổng lồ be performed on them.So it could be that the article is pointing out that it is allowed for the test lớn occur, & then later the test actually took place.

I would regard "are subject khổng lồ testing" as meaning that such testing is a condition of employment & may happen, but "are subjected khổng lồ testing" as meaning that such testing happens & perhaps when it happens is an imposition.
