Physical exams for employers
Depending on what type of job you have, your employer may ask you to undergo a physical exam. Often, even before you start work, you may be required to undergo a pre-employment physical. This may test your physical ability to perform the required job responsibilities, plus can sometimes include drug testing to help ensure a healthy and safe work environment.
