Pre-Placement Medical Exam Procedure
- The position description for job titles subject to Pre-Placement Medical Exams will state in the Special Conditions of Employment section, "This position is subject to completion of a Pre-Placement Medical Exam provided by Occupational Health Services, given at no charge to the applicant."
- The hiring department will inform the applicant(s) that hiring is contingent upon completion of a Pre-Placement Medical Exam.
- Once the selected applicant agrees to a hiring offer contingent on the pre-placement medical exam, the department:
- Performs the background check (if necessary);
- Fills out a Request & Authorization for Medical Services form;
- Faxes the Request form and the Position Description to Occupational Health at 530-752-5277;
- Calls Occupational Health at 530-757-3200 for an appointment;
- Gives the applicant a copy of the Request form to bring to the appointment.
- The Exam is performed by medical staff at Occupational Health. However, special arrangements will be made for off-site locations.
- Upon completion of the Exam, Occupational Health will fax, then mail the hiring department a copy of the clearance form indicating whether the employee is cleared for hire without restrictions or with medically-based work activity restrictions.
- If work activity restrictions are indicated, the department where the applicant will be working will consult with Employment Outreach and the Occupational Health's physician to determine if accommodation is reasonable.
- If work activity restrictions are indicated, the applicant has the right to appeal the process. The applicant will receive a copy of the medical report restrictions from Occupational Health and Pre-Placement Medical Exam Appeal Process information.
- Occupational Health will recharge the hiring department for medical tests provided regardless of the results of the Pre-Placement Medical Exam.
