  • Temporary Employment Agencies

    Drug screening: Some temp agencies will conduct in-house drug testing at the initial interview, others will do it upon employer request. Some companies are mandated “drug-free,” which means random testing, post-accident, or suspicion.

    Background check: most companies will do a background check. Results are dealt with on a case-by-case basis, as some companies will have a no-tolerance policy to certain convictions and will be lenient with others. Gliss staffing will accept/tolerate drug screens that are positive for THC but nothing else.

    All of the employers have been contacted by ARCHES (April 2019) for current information, protocols, and employment requirements. Most of the information received was similar - apply online and search website for openings. Some companies do not perform drug screens, others are in partnership with the federal government so drug screening is mandatory. Some will provide training, paid or unpaid.
