Pre-Employment Notice

Some positions require a background check and/or pre-employment screening as a condition of employment. These steps are conducted only after a conditional offer is made.

For example, Phlebotomy roles require a post-offer drug screening and a TSpot tuberculosis test. These steps are managed through our HRIS system and are part of onboarding, not the application process.

No health-related or criminal history information is collected during the application stage. This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a job offer.

Employment Relationship

Employment with Rocky Mountain Laboratories is at-will. This means either the employee or the company may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, in accordance with applicable laws. Nothing in this posting or in future communications alters that relationship.

We comply with all applicable federal and state laws and prohibit discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, disability, or genetic information.

We strongly encourage individuals from historically underrepresented groups to apply. If you require a reasonable accommodation during the application process, we are happy to provide assistance.

Rocky Mountain Laboratories participates in E-Verify.
Background checks are conducted only after a conditional offer has been made. These apply to roles including but not limited to management, toxicology, client/patient-facing positions, and those involving a company vehicle. Continued employment is contingent on the outcome of the background check.
