[QUOTE="defcondelta88, post: 1493988, member: 56832"] Wow, the amount of people who are wrong in this thread is astounding. Background screener here - Companies that are DOT regulated are required by law to provide a completed DOT Drug and Alcohol questionnaire within 30 days of the request having been made. This cannot be done unless a specific form is filled out by the candidate for EACH employer, and that form must subsequently be sent to either Human Resources or in many cases, a Safety Regulation department. Without that form they cannot divulge information. Many positions are not DOT regulated, and not all employers do things by the books, so no, not everyone on earth has had to go through the DOT process, and not every employer ever does thorough background screening, meaning that some of you may have never had to complete the information release form as the employer never wanted it to begin with. That being said, UPS is a bitch to verify. I've spent the last week on hold and have been routed to the wrong department (automated employment verification line) multiple times. At this point I am simply closing out the report and mailing their corporate headquarters with a compliance notice. This information does NOT fall under HIPAA, as you already sign a waiver when you are hired and complete drug screening. Read the paperwork you sign before making idiotic complaints - to some of the users in this thread. I used to audit medical practices and know HIPAA in and out. [/QUOTE]
