It’s always devastating when marriages fall apart, and the children are often the biggest casualties. Many former couples successfully share parenting responsibilities after their marriages end, but too many absentee fathers fall behind on their child support obligations; less than half of all custodial parents receive all the child support they’re owed, and over a quarter receive nothing at all! Establishing paternity is a crucial component of child support, adoption, and immigration proceedings, and our team at First Choice makes it easy to arrange confidential and legally binding paternity testing!

Congratulations on your new job! If you’re a healthcare worker or work with small children, you might be required to take a TB skin test as a condition of employment. It’s also a good idea to get a skin test after an overseas trip or if you’re caring for an elderly or immunocompromised family member in your home. The good news is that there’s nothing to it, and our team at First Choice makes it an easy and hassle-free process!

The hiring process is extremely challenging for both companies and prospective employees. Managers have to make hiring decisions based solely on a few interviews and resumes that present idealized versions of a candidate’s employment history. Job seekers also frequently believe they need to “beat the interviewer” and attempt to obfuscate or omit information they’d rather not share. A pre-employment drug test is a standard operating procedure for most companies, but that only confirms that the candidate is drug-free. What if there are more serious problems in your new hire’s past?

Random drug testing is a standard operating procedure for any company that’s committed to the health and safety of its employees and customers. It keeps your employees honest when they know they can be selected for testing at any time, and you’ll be able to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from operating a drug-free workplace. But if you’ve never administered a random drug testing program before, it’s important to create a program based on the best practices for your industry that meets all compliance requirements. First Choice is Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we’re here to help you create and manage a random screening program at your workplace.
