At First Choice, we have a deep commitment to helping companies protect themselves from making bad hiring decisions. If an individual chooses to use recreational drugs, it doesn’t necessarily make them a bad person. But as an employer, you can’t ignore the fact that people who abuse drugs and alcohol are far more likely to be involved in a workplace accident and expose you to worker’s comp claims, wasted company time, and other more serious problems. You’re not making a value judgment, but a business decision that is standard for many companies.
