Background Check

Successful completion of a background check is a condition of employment.

Pre-Employment Drug Screen

Successful completion of a pre-employment drug screening is a condition of employment.

Note: Cannabis (marijuana) use in any form, whether for medical purposes or not, is prohibited.

A positive drug test for marijuana will therefore prevent successful completion of the pre-employment drug screen and will result in revocation of a conditional employment offer.
