Damn lol I did mine in March what about the paper work from or employment or they going to still have it

lol sheeesh. Wow they made u do all of that in march ? And u didn’t start the class ? I would have been so mad lol but yes the paperwork they should definitely still have. U would definitely have to do medical and drug test again for sure.

Thank you for your input. I am truly grateful for this response and getting a better understanding as to what is currently going on.

So will those who did pre-employment and passed drug test and medical still valid or will they have to repeat the process? 

You’re welcome. I think the drug test is good for 60 days or 90 days. I forget which one it is but If it’s past either or then you definitely have to do the drug test again and the medical so yes u will be doing it again

Thank you. How does this “pick” process work? And what exactly is a changeover?

It goes by seniority. So we pick by seniority. Basically all the jobs in track are up for grabs. And the changeover is when we actually changeover to our new jobs / new locations

So they extending the list or just going to call the ppl that they called for the preemployment that still waiting from the spring ? And what’s changover?

They extending it cuz it’s gonna be 8600 exam. It’s 6 classes coming next year so far. And the changeover is after we all pick. We are going through a pick right now

When you say there’s a pick coming up what do you mean by that 

General pick. Where we have to pick where we will wanna go but it’s by seniority. There won’t be any classes till like October / November. That’s what they’re saying right now.  Don’t quote me tho !

My appointment isn’t till 3pm so I’m just gonna go to mydoctors before I have to go then and get something from my doctor saying I have diabetes. That should be good right? 

Yup 

5 minutes ago, Marv said:

I have been diagnosed already with diabetes. Is that what they are looking for since you said sugar. I can save them that time. Will that disqualify me from getting the position? I don’t have to inject insulin. I take pills. 

They may put u on hold no less your doctor can give u papers stating that your diabetes is controlled. I was put on hold cuz I had a sugary drink and my sugar was very high like I had diabetes but I didn’t I had to go to my doctor to get the clearance. Don’t worry tho. If they make you get the clearance get it asap

It's confusing to me, it's like vacation days but not technically vacation days.. Trying to get some answers myself.

So I been on the job for a few months , we get AVAS for holidays (we can save them) and when u work over time u can save your overtime hours (OTO).

So I have to go back to BK for medical? 

Yes. 

10 minutes ago, Marv said:

So they pretty much go through everything that one day? Medical and all? Btw thanks for taking time out to reply. Appreciate that. 

No problem. U do drug test first and they send you home. You’ll receive an email for medical 

17 minutes ago, Marv said:

How long does it take after you go through that to find out if you’re hired or not?

It took me 3 weeks. U find if you are hired after the medical if u pass through everything

Man looking over this application I had to print out. They are thorough!!! Unemployment and all. Can anyone tell me if I need to get alcohol/drug test before I go there next week? In the email says I do but it looks like I only have a paper saying drug screening notification. Can anyone lmk please. Thanks

They will do that when u go there. The lab is at Livingston. Bring your paperwork and all your important documents. Don’t miss any document they will send you home. Also, be prepared to be there all day. Soemtimes it can be quick but sometimes it’s not.
