Drug testing requirements
Employees and volunteers who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol put your organization at risk, endangering the lives of other employees and volunteers, as well as your customers.
Written notice concerning testing should be given to the applicant or volunteer before he or she is tested.
Your organization should have a written substance abuse screening policy stating that the volunteer/applicant should be drug free.
What is the screening process
Order your drug test
Order at your selected location through the True Hire customer portal.
Candidates schedule the test
Email them the link. When they schedule, they will receive an electronic donor pass.
The test takes place
Candidates take the pass & photo ID with them to the testing center to complete the test.
Receive the results
Results are typically posted within a few hours, but may take up to two days depending on positive or negative results and MRO review.
Positive results
Any screenings with positive results will be reviewed by a MRO (medical review officer) and an expert in the substance abuse field. The result of the test is delivered in approximately 2-3 days from the time the prospective caregiver goes for drug testing. You should receive a notification via email once your results are in. Urinalysis drug testing includes collection, initial screen, confirmation GC/MS screen if needed, and analysis by a MRO.
