On the application it says "I authorize pre-employment testing for the presence of drugs/alcohol and understand and agree that the results will be released to" Company B. My start date is supposed to be December 2, maybe I will hear about it by then. Like I said before I already have a start date, and normally I find out right after I accept an offer. Is the first day still considered pre-employment?

The offers are comparable. There are pros and cons to both regarding the job itself. I think my best course right now is to take the DT for company "A" (subbing) and see how that goes - first time - I have never taken a DT before.
tenbongs Reviewed by tenbongs on . Any Insight? I find myself in a unique position. Company "A" has made a job offer, (I accepted) - conditional upon completing drug screen (5-panel NON-DOT), hearing and vision (baseline) testing. Company "B" has made an offer as well (also accepted), have been given a start date with out any mention of a drug test or anything. What is the chance that Company "B" will spring a test on the first day (or week). Is it legal? Both companies knew that I had multiple offers. BTW, I live in Illinois. Rating: 5
