Archived Question about drug test

[ChrissyC050191]

At what part of the hiring process should I expect to take a drug test?

 

[commiecorvus]

Depends on what job you are applying for.

You don't if you are an average peon.
ETLs, and LP somewhere around the background check is my understanding.

Any HR folks who know better on this one?

 

[ChrissyC050191]

Well I went for my first and second interview already and they ran the background check. I have orientation tomorrow morning. I'm going to be operating the phone and the fitting room

Then you don't have to worry unless you hurt yourself at work.

No drug test unless reasonable suspicion or injury. Don't show up to work obviously high your etl HR can send you in. We had some idiot who thought he didn't have to worry about a drug test because it's legal out west

 

[ChrissyC050191]

Okay. One more quick question..how long do orientations usually last?

Anywhere from 2 to 8 hours just depends on your store and how thorough they are. And if they do training at orientation

Totally off topic. Is he a cool TM st your store? So random.

I've read on here before that it's common to do a drug test after an injury... but I got injured on the job, and there was no drug test. Is it situational, perhaps?

Depends on the injury and how closely your leadership follows guidelines/best practice/policy.

Also depends if you seek medical attention. If you hope to do a claim, the drug test is required or Sedgwick will generally deny the claim.

 

[Shoomm]

I left my shift early to go to urgent care, and I did submit claim paperwork.

Guess there was no test because 3 other TMs were witnesses or something. Or the fact that the only thing involved was a sandwich.

the only thing involved was a sandwich.

This begs for a story tho it may give you away.

 

[Shoomm]

The sandwiches come out of that little oven extremely hot. Literally have a scar now, but there was nothing that could've prevented it. I was using tongs properly and everything, but it spat and got me anyway.

I can believe it.
