Drug Policy for workplace

Any parent will tell you that their children are the most important thing in their lives, and in the same conversation, they’ll also tell you they’re the costliest! According to research conducted by LendingTree, it currently costs $297,674 to raise a child from birth through age 18, a 35% increase since 2023. Our kids are certainly worth every penny, but half of all marriages end in divorce in America, and far too many fathers are either unwilling or unable to pay their fair share after the marriage ends. But our team at First Choice is in your corner, and we offer confidential, legally binding paternity testing services with no appointment needed!

We had a donor give us a urine specimen that was temperature out of range. We get these a lot – I guess unseasoned cheaters don’t realize that temperature is one of the many ways collectors determine if a specimen is legitimate. This was not a DOT test, so we explained we could not accept the sample, gave her some water, and asked her to wait in the waiting room and let us know when she’s ready to try again.

In the waiting room, she began to complain that her chest was hurting. She began gagging and spitting up water. We immediately offered to call an ambulance, but she refused. She said she had gallbladder and pancreas issues causing her to vomit and her chest pains.

Your team members are the lifeblood of your business, and it’s your responsibility to provide them with a safe work environment at all times! The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) provides insurance benefits to employees who are injured in the line of duty, and there are certain procedures that must be followed to ensure that employers are not forced to pay claims out of their own operational budget. The good news is that it’s very easy to run a fully compliant operation, and our team at First Choice is here to help!
