The most common statuses for Pending Drug Tests include:

Specimen in Transit: The specimen is currently in transit to the lab for testing.

Specimen in Testing: The specimen is in testing at the lab.

Complete: Drug testing has been completed and the results have been sent to your employer or hiring company.

If the drug testing process is taking longer than anticipated, this does not imply a negative or positive disposition. Thorough testing is necessary to ensure an accurate test result. Although the laboratory cannot provide HireRight with any specific technical data about where this specimen is in the process, we are monitoring the specimen's progress to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays.

Please be assured that we will post this result to your report as soon as the testing and review processes are complete.
