Webinar Recording: Pre-employment Background Screening and Drug Testing: Considerations for Employers in the COVID-19 Environment

With courts and other public records and information repositories closed, and laboratories and health care facilities prioritizing COVID-19, employers must evaluate how the pandemic will impact their critical pre-employment background screening and drug testing programs. In this timely and important webinar, Pamela Devata and Jennifer Mora discuss the intersection of COVID-19 and your hiring needs.

Topics include:

• What has changed as a result of COVID-19—and what has not
• What options are available to employers who need to hire during the pandemic? What are the pros and cons of each option?
• Why the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other background screening laws still apply
• How state drug testing laws still apply and what the federal Department of Transportation has to say about drug testing in this environment
• Best practices and tips for mitigating risk
