Only when onboarded, so knew a few days in advance

Nope

Only client I've ever heard of drug testing is CVS. Almost got staffed there, they said I would have to take a drug test within a certain amount of time from my start date - can't recall maybe 15 or 30 days?? I ended up taking a dif project

Yep, two of our biggest clients drug test. I had to get tested within 3 days of my staffing but that was just because of the timeline on that project

We literally answered this question (huge chain of responses) within the last 48 hours. The answer is yes. Some of our clients drug test. The amount warning varies wildly.

So we were supposed to do it when we got onboarded, but then it kinda fell off our radar. That was 8'months ago....

Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?
