A FRIENDLIER WEB SITE
|
You
may have noticed changes on the HRPLUS Web site in the Web reporting

the old left-hand menu with a menu that goes across the top of the
page to allow more room for you to view your list of reports. To view
your list of reports, click on the View Reports button at the top
of the screen, just like you did with the old left-hand menu. If you
have any questions, you can click the Contact Us button. If you would
like to sign up your company for secure Web retrieval, please contact

AN IMPORTANT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MESSAGE
FOR EMPLOYERS
|
 As
a result of growing drug and alcohol safety concerns during this time
of challenges to our national security, the U.S. Department of Transportation
has asked us to forward the following statement to our clients: |
| |
"The
Department of Transportation realizes that many employers
have been forced to refocus and reprioritize efforts and
resources in light of the challenges caused by recent
events - events that have affected our entire nation.
While changes may well be warranted, we ask that you consider
the possible adverse impact upon public safety if appropriate
attention is not paid to your ongoing safety efforts.
As you know, a number of individuals may mistakenly turn
to drug use and more frequent alcohol use in their attempts
to cope with the stresses (both personal and professional)
associated with the terrorist acts and continuing threats.
Some of these people may work in safety-sensitive jobs
within the transportation industry. Therefore, employers
should not reduce their drug and alcohol testing efforts.
In fact, employers may be wise to increase prevention-education
and counseling opportunities for their employees."

NEW SERVICE IN THE SPOTLIGHT: HAIR TESTING
| STAT
America now offers hair testing as an alternative to traditional
urine drug testing. Hair testing has a rapid turnaround
time - typically 24 hours for a normal negative - and
it can detect drug use up to 90 days in the past. Also,
products designed to mask drug use cannot adulterate hair
samples. For more information about the benefits of hair
testing and our new program, please contact your sales
representative or our marketing department at 888-644-STAT,
ext. 613. |
