Job History
The Job History option stores the employment history, earnings, and work schedule for each job a patient holds. This section is used to determine eligibility for random drug pools and tuberculosis and other employee health monitoring.
If there is no job history record, estimated lost days for an injury are based on the week-length setting specified under on the Chart Defaults section of the screen; see Program Preferences for additional information.
If a patient changes jobs at the same company, be sure to insert an End Date in the old job history and add a new record for the new job. Failure to do this could cause the patient to be scheduled for a random drug test when s/he is no longer part of the eligible drug pool or to not be included in a drug pool when s/he should. Most of the fields on this screen are optional. The critical fields are the Corporate and Company IDs, the dates, and the Job, Department, and Unit IDs (for TB and employee health surveillance).
