Will the Real Will Smith Please Stand Up?
A person’s name holds the key to their past. It helps companies or lenders connect the dots between where an individual has worked and their academic experience, as well as financial risk, criminal misgivings, and more. Companies run background checks to ensure that you are who you say you are when interviewing for a job, lenders run background checks to verify you’re trustworthy of a loan or significant responsibility, and both leverage them to verify you’re staying out of trouble.

MISSISSIPPI LEGALIZES MEDICAL CANNABIS
Mississippi voters initially passed medical cannabis in November 2020 via ballot initiative, which contained favorable guidance for employers. However, in spring 2021 the state Supreme Court ruled the ballot initiative unconstitutional, effectively nullifying the program. Throughout 2021 and in to early 2022, legislators discussed possible next steps, resulting in the passage of Senate Bill 2095 (SB 2095) in early February 2022, re-legalizing cannabis in the state.

How to Get Started Using eCCFs
Electronic Custody and Control Forms (eCCFs) are the electronic version of the traditional CCFs. This document is used for drug test ordering, specimen collection processing, and chain of custody documentation for workplace drug testing. The eCCF functions the same way as a paper CCF but speeds up turnaround times by up to 25% and prevents common user errors associated with paper forms. ECCFs eliminate errors due to illegible handwriting, incorrect procedures, using outdated or the wrong paper CCF, or inaccurate accounting/billing information.
DYK Financial Investigative Services
FIS conducts in-depth courthouse and database investigations that are customizable to meet the needs of both the client and their business. FIS Investigations extend beyond the initial areas of a client request. Through our preliminary investigations, we uncover information on where an individual has lived, current and prior business affiliations, and make additional search suggestions. Unlike traditional employment backgrounds, FIS background investigations can often go back 10 years, 20 years, or longer. FIS investigations extend past the employment screening world to cover a wide variety of industries, including real estate investment, private equity, hedge fund, and the financial industry to assist our clients in determining the creditworthiness of an individual from the investment perspective.
