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.
Jessica always ordered statewide and county criminal records for her applicants before she made hiring decisions. Unfortunately, her most promising applicant for a current vacancy, Rick, had just moved to the area from a state where statewide criminal searches were unavailable. Jessica decided that she would order a county criminal search from Rick's previous county of residence and trust her instincts. When the county criminal search came back indicating that he had no criminal records, Jessica hired Rick and began training him for his new position. After a month of employment, Rick quit coming to work with no explanation. Jessica called his home and Rick's wife ashamedly informed her that Rick had been arrested recently for violating parole in their previous state of residence. If Jessica had ordered parole and probation records in place of the unavailable statewide search, she would have saved herself the time and trouble of training a worker who was unable to fulfill his employment responsibilities.
