Portland, OR 97213
Hours: Mon – Fri, 9 am – 4:30 pm
Welcome to Providence!
Your job offer is contingent on the completion of all post-offer requirements. This includes a
background check, drug screen and health evaluation. The following outlines time frames and
expectations:
Initial call – You have been directed to complete your drug screen within 48 hours of the call, and
to turn in your new hire paperwork to the employment center.
Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9 form) – You will need to present government issued
identification when you come to the Employment Center. Please see the attached “acceptable
documents” list compiled by the Department of Homeland Security (photocopies are not
acceptable). It is a Providence Health & Services policy that you may not begin working
without completing this requirement.
Licensure and/or credentials – Requirements vary depending upon your position. You have been
instructed to bring your Oregon license and/or certifications, specific to your position, with you to
the Employment Center. It is a Providence Health & Services policy that you may not begin
working without completing this requirement.
Background check - Your background check may also include verification of your employment
history for the past 5 years and of any education required of the position you have accepted. If
you are aware that any of your past employers are no longer in business, HireRight will ask you
to provide documentation such as a W2 or a pay stub to verify your employment history. If you
are concerned or do not feel you will be able to produce this documentation, please call me.
Department of Human Services background consent form – This additional process is required
for some Providence positions. The consent form must be completed in person. This process
takes 8-10 business days to complete. If you have lived outside the state of Oregon for more than
60 consecutive days in the past 5 years, you will be sent for fingerprinting, as required for an FBI
investigation. This additional background check takes 5-6 weeks on average to complete. You
may be granted probationary clearance to start work.
Health Evaluation – You will be contacted once the background check and drug screen results
have been received. Health screen appointments are available mornings only at the four Portland
area Providence hospitals. A clearance from the Employee Health Department is required prior
to allowing you to attend New Employee Orientation.
Final clearance – will be sent to your hiring manager once all post-offer requirements have been
met.
