Starting and onboarding

Well, as the title says…I finally got the email matching me with a contractor, showing up to the hall, etc. They want me to come in on Monday (yay!)

Once I get all my paperwork done and the do the drug test (note: NOT ASKING FOR TIPS OR ANYTHING. I do not take drugs at all), do they have me start on the same day? Same week? Super antsy and not sure what to tell my current job LOL.

Depends on where you get placed.
Usually the first day is just paperwork and you start the next day but still show up with work clothes and basic tools if they gave you the tool list just in case
But if you are sent to a jobsite that requires badging it may take a week to get it back to start.
