The phlebotomists do an initial reading and send employees with any induration or redness to EHS for specif reading and possible retest. If you have not had the test, you do not qualify for a full raise. We started doing TB tests during the birth month. This spreads the testing over 12 months and monitors all departments more frequently. I am currently retesting 2000 employees and looking for a better way than our current yearly one-week blitz.
Compliance is always an issue and administrative leaves have been issued in the past.
We have made every effort to accommodate employees. Stating in May of this year, employees will not be eligible for retroactive raises if they have not completed their annual health screen prior to their anniversary date.
