I had to pay for mine @ my current gig. $50.00 (CAD) for the background check, 
no drug test though.

  Subject: OT: Background Checks and Drug Test


  To all,

  I am looking at taking a contract position. I am currently talking to the 
contracting rep about this position. He wants me to fill out some online forms, 
standard stuff, but I am concerned about one of the forms.

  This form is a release for a Background Check and Drug Screening. Now, I 
don't mind the background check or the drug test. But what kinda irks me is 
that they want to charge $10 for the Drug Test and $25 for the Background 
Check. What the form basically says, is, that I am giving the contracting firm 
to deduct those amounts from my first paycheck. I am also hesitant in filling 
out any forms for them, as they haven't told me what the payrate is on this 
position.

  I thought all Background Checks and Drug Test charges where the 
responsibility of the contracting company?

  What are your thoughts on this?
