I recently accepted a job offer and sent my confirmation email on Monday. Since then, I've received access to an onboarding portal where I filled out basic information like my name, address, and social security number. The portal indicates that I should expect some emails with next steps before my start date in two weeks, which is coming up this Monday. However, I haven't received any further instructions yet. On Thursday, I reached out to the HR representative via email to let them know I completed the initial information and am waiting for the next steps. I also called and left a voicemail on Wednesday with some questions, but I haven't heard back from them. I'm starting to feel anxious because I want to give my current employer a two-week notice, but if they require a background check and drug test before I start, I feel like the process hasn't progressed enough for it being five days since I signed the offer letter. Has anyone else experienced a similar wait for next steps regarding background checks and drug tests?
