This overview includes the steps to implementing the process an d <br />pricing. <br /> <br />Statement of Business Necessity <br />Post-Offer Employment Test is a tool to help match the physical abilities of a worker to the specific physical <br />demands of a job. Appropriate job placement helps eliminate the risk of injury due to over-exertion and <br />lack of physical ability. In addition, this program is an effective tool for cost reduction and cost containment <br />related to reducing the number of work-related injuries and associated costs such as time off, worker <br />replacement, lost productivity, employee turnover, reserve allocations, administrative costs and legal <br />expenses which all contribute to the negative financial impact of on -the-job injuries. <br /> <br />Select Medical’s WorkStrategies Program has been administering Post-Offer Employment Tests for more <br />than twenty years. The model has been refined, computerized and studied throughout this time. It is valid <br />and reproducible. Employers using this model have experienced tremendous success in reducing <br />musculoskeletal injuries and their related costs. Although it does not completely alleviate musculoskeletal <br />injuries, they are reduced an average of 50% during the first year’s implementation. Employers who utilize <br />the model in conjunction with other injury management programming and ergonomic technologies are <br />achieving even higher reductions. <br /> <br />Select Medical’s employment testing program meets the legal requirements of the EEOC, ADA and other <br />Federal regulations and is provided by WorkStrategies Specialists. As an administrator of the Post Offer <br />Employment Testing, our company has helped employers to increase productivity, reduce job turnover and <br />reduce costs associated with turnover such as new hire orientation, training and workers’ compensation <br />costs associated with injured workers. <br /> <br />Testing Services <br />A Post-Offer Employment Test is performed by a trained WorkStrategies Specialists after a conditional offer <br />of employment is made to an applicant. The test is created from a defined process including an onsite job <br />analysis that determines essential job functions including the strength, postural/agility and lifting <br />requirements associated with a specific job. Based on the data collected at the worksite and in observation <br />of employees functioning in the job, a test battery is developed. <br /> <br />Emphasis is placed on two primary functional areas: <br />1) Dynamic lift testing at various levels in order to determine employee’s level of strength <br />2) Job simulation testing in order to determine employee’s ability to perform essential functions of <br />target job <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: FFA73DD9-C106-407B-89D5-4182E5B591FE
