Description

A standard hiring packet for Michigan employers typically includes required tax and eligibility forms, an employment application, offer letters, and any relevant policy agreements such as non-disclosure or non-compete documents. Employers in Michigan may implement pre-employment background checks and drug tests, and charging a processing fee—for example, $50—is allowed as long as the fee reflects actual hiring or processing costs and is disclosed up front; most restrictions focus on not using such fees to unfairly profit from applicants.​

Drug Test and Background Check

• Michigan employers in the private sector may require pre-employment drug tests and background checks—these are not prohibited by state law, and most private companies use them for risk management.​

• No job offer will be given until these checks are passed.​
