Screening for Drugs As Well As Alcohol

Many employers use background checks to ensure they are hiring the right person for the job available and they also include drug testing as part of this pre-employment screening process. These drug tests can include tests for illegal drugs as well as prescription medications. Yet many employers are unaware that they can also check for heavy drinking over the past month as well. Excess drinking can be just as costly to an employer as drug use so many will want to consider using this test to ensure they are not only getting the best applicant, but an applicant who can effectively get the job done.
