If we're talking about marijuana another exception is states where it's decriminalized. If you're passing on a fantastic candidate in California because they tested positive for marijuana you are arguably insane. Possession of marijuana under an ounce is a violation (ticket) that doesn't require a court appearance or a criminal record (similar to a traffic violation).
- spinlock 11y agoI don't think that's how it works. Companies with drug testing policies are usually multi-state and they won't have a separate policy for NY and CA.
- ConroyBumpus 11y agoActually, they do. I have seen organizations with separate HR policies, by state, to comply with the variances unique to each state (which is why employees in one state were subject to random testing, and the other only "for cause".)
- brazzledazzle 11y agoAs ConroyBumpus pointed out it's not unusual for companies to have per-state policies. That said, the differences are usually motivated by compliance with the law rather than serving the business and its goals.
