I’m in the US. I have signed all the new hire paperwork including completing the background check. Nowhere in this process has a pre-employment drug screen been mentioned even at the time of the verbal offer. I start on December 3rd. What’s the likelihood a pre-employment drug screen can happen in less than a week?

*Offer letter did state two conditions of employment were contingent on me proving I can work in the US and passing a background checks.

*I have never been drug tested for a job before and my only concern is weed may still be slightly detectable. It will be nearly 3 weeks from the last time i smoked to my actual start date.

*The job does not require me to operate heavy machinery or any of that sort. It’s an office/desk job.
