[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] pre employment testing

[Carr, Jennifer L.]

Rebecca,
We have folks come in prior to day one to complete these pre-employment activities and avoid the obvious challenges related to positive tests, etc.
In regard to the pre-employment activities being considered compensable. IF you move the activities to prior to start date, you could establish a pre-determined rate or amount of time for the candidate to be compensated on their first paycheck for the identified pre- employment activity. We do this with our online education that is required to be completed prior to Day 1 New Employee Orientation, and everyone gets paid for 6 hours of education.

Hope this helps determine a path forward. We do also have a standard titer collection (HEP B, MMR, & Varicella), IGRA, and UDS that are collected for all candidates that do not provide vaccines, titers, results that we can accept according to our Post- Offer Employment Vaccination and Health Screening policy.

Jennifer

Hello,
I am wondering how other Employee health nurses are conducting their pre-employment testing? Currently we are having the new employee come in for UDS and TB test on first day of hire. This process proposes a problem if the new hire does not pass UDS .   Also, if TB is positive and need further testing, chest X-ray.  The employee can be working for 1-2 weeks before the results come in and costing hospital money. The HR department states that BOLI new regulations were passed that in state of Oregon any pre-employment activities are considered compensable.
How are other hospitals and CAH conducting and still under the new regulations.
Thank you,
