Post-Accident, or For Cause, testing refers to the performance of a drug and alcohol test on employees involved in accidents occurring during work time or on company property.
Companies that implement an effective post-accident drug screening program can boost workplace safety, save on insurance costs and reduce legal liability and other costs associated with workplace accidents.
Finally! You just got an offer for your dream job, and now there’s just one more step to go: a background check.
Why does your future boss feel the need to conduct these checks? Do they think you’re a secret spy or a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Over the years, we’ve seen a great many questions posed by job candidates about Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions and erroneous beliefs as to how ATS actually work, how they review and qualify candidates, and what benefits they provide to both the candidate and the employer.
We take a look at the some basics every job applicant should understand and then clear up some assumptions and misinformation about this very important component to the job application process.
Is it true that just as each snowflake is different, every leaf is singular, and no one looks exactly like Steve Buscemi, every fingerprint is unique? If they’re used to solve crimes, aren’t they a completely dependable way to base a background check on a job candidate?
And today, not only crimes but smartphones, laptops and many other of our latest and most advanced devices can be secured with a fingerprint, right? Biometric technology, as it’s called, seems unbeatable since fingerprints can’t be duplicated. While you may be able to alter your visage with Photoshop and modify your voice with Audacity, fingerprints can’t be altered. We all know that. And as such, fingerprints can be relied upon as an accurate source for criminal history, correct?
In fact, the facts prove otherwise.
We understand that background checks can seem complex and intimidating. There is not a “one size fits all” approach to a background check program.
In order to help diffuse some of the mystery in background screening, we have collected various questions from HR Professionals.
