Tip of the Month
Time is of The Essence When It Comes To Drug Testing
We have many clients who conduct drug testing on all new employees as part of the background screening process. Common sense would tell an employer to send that new employee to the testing lab as soon as the proper paperwork is in hand, instead of sending them the next day, or in some cases the following week. Why is time essential? Because you don’t want your new hire to have time to “flush” or clean out any drugs in their body. Flushing can be done by consuming large amounts of water or purchasing over-the-counter body cleansing products, which dilute the urine sample.
