PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG SCREENING SAVES YOUR COMPANY MONEY!

Pre-Employment Drug Screening Tests are detect the presence or confirm the absence of drugs and their metabolites in a potential employees urine sample. According to the United States Department of Labor, drug use in the workplace costs employers between $75 and $100 billion dollars annually in lost productivity, increased health care costs, employee accidents and increased workers compensation costs.

In today’s challenging business environment, a policy which includes pre-employment drug testing (including oral drug tests and urine drug tests) makes good business sense. Fortune 500 companies have tested their employees for drugs for years in order to minimize the impact of drug abuse in the workplace. Some of these consequences include employee absenteeism, tardiness, theft, crime and violence, turnover, and decreased productivity. A large percentage of accidents on the job can be blamed on drugs or alcohol. The cost of your employers healthcare also increases when there is drug or alcohol abuse in the workplace. Drug abusers use more health care benefits and much more likely to file workers compensation claims than non-drug abusers.

It’s a difficult battle for an employer to fight. With the increased popularity of recreational drugs and the widescale abuse of prescription medication, employers are faced with formidable opposition to ensure a drug free work environment. But with the ease and non-invasiveness of both oral drug tests and urine drug testing, it makes good sense for business owners to take advantage of these tests to guarantee safe, drug free work environments.
