Castle Branch complements its employment screening programs with
nationwide drug testing services. The need for drug testing cannot be
understated: in the United States over 20 percent of full-time
employees between the ages of 20 and 34 used illicit drugs
last year, missing work almost twice as often as non-drug users,
and filing more than twice as many workers compensation claims.
Castle Branch brings years of experience to employers requiring
substance abuse screening services, along with an uncompromising
commitment to customer service. Numerous collection sites are
located in most cities. A medical review officer is available to
interpret positive results and an account manager is always
available to review current drug testing policies.
Castle Branch drug testing reports are provided in an easy-to-read
format and are delivered via fax, e-mail, or over the Internet
through our web-based information management system.
Whether improving a current drug testing program or
implementing a new program, a Castle Branch account manager
is always available as a guide throughout the process.
Castle Branch offers two categories of drug testing:
laboratory testing and on-site testing kits.
Margaret ran a non-profit girls and boys club. She performed a statewide criminal record investigation on all employees and thought she was safe when she hired Lee as a janitor. Months later, she received an anonymous letter notifying her that Lee had been convicted of child molestation. The letter included a copy of Lee's record from another state's sexual offender index. Margaret had missed the criminal conviction since it occurred in a state where Lee had previously lived and where a statewide search was unavailable. Lee had worked in the girls and boys club for the past six months and had numerous opportunities to be alone with the children. Margaret owed it to the children and her staff to terminate Lee's employment and to add sexual offender index searches to her employment screening program.
