In observance of upcoming holidays – Christmas and New Year’s Day – most U.S. courthouses, schools in session, and businesses will be closed. Since the holidays fall on the weekend, generally Christmas closures will occur on Friday, December 24, 2021 and New Year’s closures will occur Friday, December 31, 2021.
As a result, criminal searches and verifications with external dependencies are expected to be delayed by 24 to 48 hours following each holiday. Education verifications may be delayed up to two weeks due to school closures. Additionally, Patient Service Centers (PSC) for Quest/Labcorp, as well as their regional laboratories will have reduced operating hours on December 24 and 31, 2021, and will be closed in observance of the Christmas holiday on Saturday, December 25, 2021 and closed for the New Year’s holiday on Saturday, January 1, 2022. They will reopen on the Monday following the holiday. eScreen managed collection sites availability will vary. For all testing locations, we recommend that candidates and employees should reach out to the site prior to testing to confirm holiday hours of operation. For reference, here‘s a list of 2021 holidays. Thank you for your continued trust in Sterling.
