    tried calling hr, but they couldn't give me a specific answer. My understanding is i have to pay for my own insurance and reimbursement is 55.5 cents a mile paid monthly. This is for the upcoming jansen project to launch xarelto. i know most companies check back 3-5 years for group insurance rate purpose. ie.) one employee with a dui would make everyone's rate go up costing the company tons of extra money, more than even the sickest salesman could make up for in sales. But, does the dmv check apply here or are they just looking for a valid license verification on background check. I mean i will be driving my own vehicle, paying for my own gas, and insuring myself, so any real info. is greatly appreciated. To all the people who get off on putting other people down, and i'm sure there will b plenty you don't phase i worry about myself not you, jah be praised.

    you are wrong....i put dui in my online app. just checked to make sure...recruiter would have never contacted me if was a problem...the mileage reimbursement rate of 55.5 cents effective july 2011 includes cost of lease vehicle, depreciation if own vehicle which i do outright (bought out my previous company car), cost of insurance and gasoline. Finding a job with a dui is tough in pharma but NOT impossible. Other business expenses such as oil changes, maintenance items parking, and registration renewal can also be deducted from taxes at end of year. If you have an aggressive accountant you can also double dip on the mileage reimbursement at end of year. getting in with a big pharma company will b impossible because they most all do 3 year check, some 5, but contract companies such as innovex with unique criteria such as this is like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's not impossible. Smaller start up companies also do this such as cypress bioscience in the philly area. Since i bought my car in cash i will be able to pocket an extra $800 or so a month if i land the position. Yeah I will beat the shit out of my car, but its like adding 10k to your base offer. i will confirm with my contact at quintiles tomorrow to make sure. You are the stupid one, don't pre-judge and be humble, word to the wise. I am not as much responding to the lovely and goodlooking individual before me as I am hopefully providing valuable information to someone in the same position as myself who is googling duis and pharma sales at some point down the line. one love and positivity.

    The pharma industry is very strict regarding guidelines and including DUI. It does not matter whether you are driving your own car or not. When background checks are done, it is by an outside company that is similar to what the police and investigators use. Highly confidential.

    Even if you have a company car only your spouse can drive the company car. BUT if your spouse shows up on one of these investigative reports with a DUI there is no way they can drive the car.

    actually guy with dui is right....lucky for him he find a loophole in the system..no company car no company insurance then dui no problem...he is not as stupid as the previous guy thinks...shit happens...you all need to grow up...it does show up on criminal and driving record checks, but will be overlooked on criminal check...they are looking for felonies directly realted to job..such as receiving stolen property ...even though every rep steals all the cialis and lipitor samples for friends and for pattern of misdemamily and resells them for five dollars a pill even if they don't have a felony..or a apttern of misdemeanors in short time span...in this case the company will simply call dmv for which state applicant resides make sure the name matches the license number...that license is valid...not suspended and done...why would they waste money on a dmv 3 year check...if they are not the insurer? They don't give a shit if you crash, get tickets, etc. it's on the employee...as long as you make the most money for the company...hope that helps...good luck to the guy with the dui...next drinks on me..your alright in my book...and sure you are awesome at sales...not like all these other corporate drones who don't even have a reason to be on here except play with their pud and make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives and fat wives.

    Yeh, I'd go with the guy/gal with the DUI as they are more responsible than the one with the clean record. Yeah, right and Barry O knows what he is doing.

    You are brilliant. Next time you get into an alcohol induced wreck I'm sure the attorney representing the family you fucked up will stay completely away from the potential liability payoff of you representing a large corporate entity with perceived deep pockets while you plowed through his client's property. You did it once you're absolutely more likely to do it again. And I really don't see how awesome your sales are when you're at work either drunk or hungover. Here's a thought: if you drink, don't drive.

    OP, have you ever heard about the term "personal responsibility"? Is it a term you are familiar with or is it foreign to your vocabulary. Frankly you should be investigating your issue directly with the company, not here on CP. Why bother us with your stupidity?

    Are they paying you the .55 as an expense check or a 1099? If you get a 1099 you have to report it on your taxes if not double dip.

    Not sure what the policy is if you are driving your own car but someone I worked with a few years ago at Innovex got a DUI and she was fired. We had company cars.

    I've had 4 DUIs in in 6 months 3 years ago and I've been with Quintiles for 7 years. The second DUI I smashed right through the waiting room of a doc's office. Didn't even have to get out of the car for a signature.

    Actually..you are wrong. I got a DUI when I was with the company and was not fired, nor did I lose my company car or ANY benefits. Maybe she was fired for some other reason.

    1. ILLEGAL STOP OF PERSON OR VEHICLE – a driver cannot be stopped unless the officer has a reasonable and articulate basis to believe that a traffic law or other law has been violated. Similarly, a person cannot be seized unless a violation has occurred.

    2. WEAVING INSIDE THE LANES IS NOT ILLEGAL – weaving without crossing any lines is not a violation of the law, and a vehicle cannot be stopped for that reason.

    3. ANONYMOUS REPORT OF DRUNK DRIVING – a car cannot be stopped simply because an anonymous citizen reported that the driver was drunk.

    4. STANDARD FIELD SOBRIETY TESTING IS INACCURATE – in healthy individuals, the one-leg stand test is only 65% accurate, and the walk-and-turn test is only 68% accurate in determining if a person is under the influence. Those persons with injuries, medical conditions, 50 pounds or greater overweight, and 65 years or older cannot be validly judged by these tests.

    5. NON-STANDARDIZED FIELD TESTS ARE INVALID – neither the Federal Government (NHTSA) nor medical science considers touching your finger to your nose, or saying the alphabet, or counting backwards, as valid sobriety tests.

    6. BREATH TESTING IS INACCURATE –virtually all experts concede that one breath test alone is unreliable. Breath testing is subject to various inaccuracies, including a variance as much s +/- 12.5%, non-specificity for ethanol, etc.

    7. BOOKING ROOM VIDEOS – Many police stations videotape suspects at the police station, where their speech is clear and their balance is perfect, in spite of police testimony to the contrary.

    8. IN-SQUAD VIDEOS – more and more often, the suspect’s driving and performance on field tests is being recorded; often contradicting police testimony.

    9. FAILURE TO PROVIDE SPEEDY TRIAL – If a client is not provided with a trial within a certain period of time, which varies between states, through delays of the court or prosecutor, the charges must be dismissed.

    10. POLICE BLOOD TEST INACCURATE –Many times, police blood testing fails to follow prescribed rules of testing, analysis, or preservation recommendations.

    11. HOSPITAL BLOOD TEST INACCURATE – Hospital blood tests overestimate a person’s true level by as much as 25% in healthy, uninjured individuals, and are not statistically reliable in severely injured persons.

    12. BREATH TEST OPERATOR UNLICENSED – Most states require a Breath Test Operator to possess a valid, unexpired operator’s license, or the breath test result is inadmissible.

    13. BREATHALYZER MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS – Most states specify that if there is a malfunction or repair of the breath test instrument within a certain period of time before or after a suspect’s breath test, the results of the suspect’s test are presumed invalid.

    14. BREATH TEST OPERATOR LICENSE EXPIRED – Most states require that a Breath Test Operator must possess an unexpired operator’s license, or the breath test result is inadmissible.

    15. BREATH TEST DEVICE NOT APPROVED – A breath-testing instrument must be listed on the Federal List of Approved Breath Evidential Instruments and the ISP approved list of Devices, or the results are inadmissible.

    16. FAILURE TO PROVE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE – A defendant’s admission to driving, without more, does not prove a charge of driving under the influence.

    17. INDEPENDENT WITNESSES – Often times, independent witnesses to accidents, bartenders, hospital personnel and others can provide crucial evidence of the defendant’s sobriety.

    18. FAILURE TO MIRANDIZE – Prosecutors may not use as evidence the statements of a defendant in custody for a DUI when the police have failed to properly issue Miranda Warnings.

    19. FIELD SOBRIETY TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED – According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, improperly administered field tests are not valid evidence of intoxication.

    20. OFFICER’S PRIOR DISCIPLINARY RECORD – A police officer’s previous disciplinary record can be used to attack the officer’s credibility .

    21. PORTABLE BREATH TEST INADMISSIBLE – Most states prohibit the use of portable breath testing results as evidence at trial in a DUI case.

    22. PORTABLE BREATH TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED – The manufacturers of portable breath testing devices require a minimum of two tests to consider the results evidential in nature.

    23. FAILURE TO CONDUCT OBSERVATION PERIOD – Most states require that a driver be observed continuously for a minimum period, such as twenty minutes, prior to a breath test in order for the results to be considered admissible and valid.

    24. EXPERT WITNESSES – Expert witnesses are available to review the validity of breath tests, blood tests and field sobriety tests.

    25. MEDICAL AND HEALTH PROBLEMS –Medical problems with legs, arms, neck, back and eyes can affect the results of field sobriety tests. Further, other medical conditions can also affect the validity of breath test results.

    26. BAD WEATHER – Weather reports establishing high winds, low visibility, and other conditions are available to explain poor driving or poor balance.

    27. LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST – A police officer must have specific and articulable facts to support any arrest for DUI, or the suspension will be reversed and the evidence suppressed at trial.

    28. ILLEGAL SEARCH – The police are prohibited from searching a person or the automobile for a minor traffic offense, and may not search a car without a driver’s consent or probable cause. Any evidence illegally obtained is not admissible in court.

    29. PRIOR INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS BY POLICE OFFICERS – Any statement made by a police officer, verbally, in police reports, or at previous court proceedings may be used to attack that officer’s credibility.

    30. POST-DRIVING ABSORPTION OF ALCOHOL – The prosecutor must prove the blood or breath alcohol at the time of driving. Recent consumption of alcohol just prior to driving will cause the test results to be higher than what the true level was when the person was operating the automobile.

    31. INTERFERING SUBSTANCES – Many items contain forms of alcohol, which may cause false results, such as asthma spray, cough drops, paints, fingernail polish. These items can cause the breath results to be invalid.

    32. BREATH MACHINE NOT PROPERLY OPERATED – The manufacturers of breath testing devices have specified protocols, which must be followed for a breath result to be valid. Failure to follow these requirements will result in improper readings.

    33. FAILURES TO PRODUCE DISPATCH TAPES – Most stops of vehicles are recorded on dispatch tapes, as well as recording police communications regarding an arrest of an individual. Failure to preserve such tapes upon request can cause all evidence, which could have been recorded to be suppressed.

    34. MISLEADING STATEMENTS BY POLICE OFFICERS – Any misleading statement by the police regarding the consequences of taking (or refusing) a blood, breath, or urine test will cause the suspension to be reversed and removed from the driver’s record.

    35. STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS – A misdemeanor charge of DUI must be filed within a certain period of time (which varies between states) of the date of offense, or the charges will be dismissed outright.

    36. PRIVATE PROPERTY – A person who has not driven the car on a public highway cannot be suspended for drunk driving.

    37. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE EXPERTS –The failure of the prosecutor to disclose the state’s expert(s) will cause those witnesses to be barred from testifying against the defendant.

    38. LACTATE RINGERS – When hospital staff use lactate ringers during the treatment of a patient, the hospital blood serum results will report falsely elevated, and therefore invalid, readings.

    39. FAILURE TO RECORD CERTIFICATION TESTS – the failure to include the value of the simulator solution used to test breath machines will cause the breath test results to be inadmissible in court against the driver.

    40. BOOKING ROOM VIDEOS – Many police stations videotape the testing process. These tapes may establish that the testing procedure resulted in inaccurate or inadmissible tests due to burping, radio transmitters, and other improprieties.
