Pre-Employment Testing

• Purpose: Pre-employment testing is conducted before an applicant officially starts working for a company.
• Timing: It occurs after a conditional offer of employment has been made.
• Objective: The goal is to ensure that the prospective employee is drug-free before joining the organization.
• Process: Applicants are required to undergo drug testing, and a negative result is typically a condition for employment.
• Deterrence: While it serves as an initial screening, pre-employment testing can be easier for drug users to beat by abstaining from drugs for a few days before the test
