EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND LICENSING ACCESS FEES
In the past, HRPLUS has absorbed various third-party access fees charged by some schools, employers, employment verification services and licensing agencies. Over the last several years, the frequency and amount of these access fees have increased significantly, and HRPLUS is no longer able to absorb these costs. As a result, effective February 1, 2003, HRPLUS will pass the costs of these access fees on to our clients. This policy is similar to the existing HRPLUS policy regarding motor vehicle and court access fees, and is standard practice in the industry. Statistically, a small percentage of reports involve an access fee. For more information, please contact your account representative, or call our customer service department at (303) 670-8177.
LOCATE YOUR 401(k) BENEFICIARIES
It's the end of the year, and your company may be looking for lost 401(k) beneficiaries. Let us help with our Address Locator Service. This is a search for a former employee's current address and/or most recent address(es). This program is available for the low cost of $6.00 per name. For more information, please contact your sales representative or call our customer service department.
DISCOUNT ON MOTOR VEHICLE BULK ORDERS
The beginning of the year is a good time to review the driving records of all employees who drive as part of their official employment duties. To help you do this, we are offering special pricing on motor vehicle reports during January 2003. The bulk discount rate is $6.00 per name - which is a 30% savings! - plus state access fees. (Please remember that for Pennsylvania, in addition to the $6.00 per name fee and state access fee, a $9.00 fee per name applies). Take this opportunity to ensure that your employees are properly licensed, and reduce your company's potential liability. To take advantage of this discount, please contact your account representative or call our customer service department.
WORKFORCE MAGAZINE QUOTES HRPLUS PRESIDENT
Workforce magazine's November 2002 issue quotes Douglas Hahn, president of HRPLUS, in its cover story, "Who Are You Really Hiring?"

SERVICE IN THE SPOTLIGHT: On-Site Testing With Medtox Profile IIA
Access to products designed to interfere with drug test results is easier than ever. A quick search for these adulterants on the Internet confirms that fact. They are easy to find and easy to buy. To defeat these products, STAT America offers Medtox Profile IIA - an on-site drug-screening device with built-in adulterant screening panels. This revolutionary product not only screens for five different drugs of abuse, it also identifies an individual who is attempting to mask the results of his or her drug test. Don't let an applicant beat your point-of-collection drug screen! Use Medtox Profile IIA and maintain the integrity of your screening program. For more information, please call your account representative or call us at (303) 679-0010.
