Multi-employer compliance, built to scale
Pooled random testing administration across your entire member roster, managed centrally, reported clearly, ready for growth.
Overview
A consortium combines covered employees from multiple employers in a shared random testing pool. Unity supports TPAs and consortium operators with member onboarding, roster administration, selection coordination, and records. Each employer retains responsibility for its own program and required actions.
How Unity Helps:
Unity helps organize the pool, maintain member records, and coordinate testing activity across participating employers. We review the agencies involved, workforce categories, roster process, and reporting needs before agreeing on the administrative support.
What's included:
- Random pool management across member companies
- Employer onboarding and recordkeeping
- Ongoing compliance monitoring
- Member-level reporting
Who It's For:
TPAs and consortium operators managing random testing pools across multiple member employers who need centralized administration that scales as membership grows.
Is a shared pool right for your members?
That depends on the covered workforce and the applicable agency rules. A shared pool can serve multiple employers; a standalone pool serves one employer. Unity reviews your program structure and covered employee categories before recommending an arrangement. DOT and non-DOT testing pools must remain separate.
What do we need to get started?
- Identify each member employer, its governing agency, and the employees covered by testing rules.
- Confirm current rosters, employer contacts, provider access, and the administrative tasks Unity will support.
- Agree on roster updates, selection notifications, collection coordination, and member reporting.
Who remains responsible?
The employer retains compliance responsibility and a qualified internal DER. Unity supports the agreed administrative work and communicates required follow-up to the appropriate employer contact.
