SureHire explains Pre-Work Evaluation
A pre-work evaluation has the goal of ensuring that an employee will have the physical skills and endurance, necessary mental skills, emotional stability, and level of general health required to carry out and complete a specific job without injury to themselves or others. Pre-work evaluations must be tailored for specific jobs and should not include tests or evaluations not relevant to the specific job duties the employee will be engaged in on the worksite.
