In the Week 3 assignment, you assumed the role of a new CHRO for a major retail organization in creating a Management Team Briefing on Employment Laws. Continue in that role for this assignment.

After briefing the management team on employment law, it is time to apply that knowledge to internal processes. A current review of the company's HR policies and procedures centered on employment law reveals some possible opportunities to improve the overall recruitment and hiring process.

2. Describe at least two of the most common types of background checks and how they can be properly administered by an organization.
3. Recommend at least five employee drug-testing procedures you would implement to comply with state drug-testing laws.
   • Explain your choices.
