POPA

What does the POPA entail? Just freaking out I wont make it past that.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the New Employee Connections group.

As far as I know it's to check your health (drug use and immunity)

If you haven't done this already they do a vision/hearing test, ask some health questions and will vaccinate you if your not up to date on those. (I got MMR & chicken pox even though I had the pox as a kid-it needs to be on file) then send you with a map to find the building with the lab to give urine & blood samples. Make sure you have enough time to find the POPA place because it was a quest for me lol, but the employees are patient & helpful.

They also go over a form asking if you have any conditions that could interfere with performing essential functions of the job and if you answer yes they set up a meeting for you with a doctor that can write orders for accommodations (or at least that was what happened for someone I know).
