Employees will need to take a drug test and background check after arriving in
Anchorage. The drug test typically takes 2 days to get the results and the
background can take up to 7 days (although the average is around 3 days). Once
this information is cleared they can start. CHECK ON THIS: Currently Home
Depot is looking to waive the background; meaning the employee can still work
while waiting for the results. In the event they come back in a “red” status we
would end their employment. The benefit to the waiver is they don’t have to lose
time by waiting for the results to clear.
