[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard no. If she did not disclose it she lied. Now that she got caught she lied.[/quote] Are nannies required to disclose all medical and recreational activities? So if your nanny drinks, she needs to let you know exactly how much each week? All medical issues disclosed, like her doctor records? The attitudes here are amazing. I understand not wanting someone in childcare that is an addict, a drunk, or jas no discretion, but there is absolutely no difference between your wine or cocktail after work and an occasional joint to relax. Plus, most people that use oils and edibles are using them for pain, insomnia, etc. Alcohol is much more evil than any cannobis product, and I would rather hire a nanny that tokes up occasionally or uses edibles for medical reasons, than a drinker. [/quote] Marijuana is illegal by federal government. Some states allow it with a prescription. If your health issues are that severe to need it, both should be disclosed. No way would I allow someone to drive and care for my child who uses drugs. And, lies. An occasional drink is legal. Most people who use it are drug addicts. People like me with medical issues use legal prescriptions and legal drugs. Federal law still states it is illegal. [/quote] Idk what world you live in but most people using marijuana are not drug addicts. Also, it is legal in several states without a prescription. It is also legal to leave CA with edibles. So bc alcohol is legal it’s fine for your nanny to be a drinker? Also, abusing and overdosing on prescription drugs is a major thing happening. So your nanny could be a drug addict addicted to prescription pills. But that’s fine right? Oh the flaws in your very ignorant and misinformed logic. [/quote] I don’t think anyone working with kids should have a positive drug test. Even if it legal with prescription in some states it is illegal with the federal law. [/quote] Yeah, you don’t know the laws in other states much less federal laws. It is common knowledge at this point that marijuana is very much legal without a prescription in certain states. Please do some actual research before you post. I mean, you don’t even have a basic understanding of how to use google and knowledge of federal or state laws. Should a person like you really be working with kids? [/quote] The house (federal) passed MORE in November. Senate has not. Ergo, still illegal. Medical research with marijuana is still very difficult to get approved, due to status as an illegal drug. I’m quite aware of which states do and don’t allow it, and under what conditions. My tiny home town has FOUR businesses now dedicated to marijuana/cbd oil, while just about everything else is closing or has been gone for a while. Just because something is allowed at state level does NOT mean that it’s not still illegal at federal level. And pushing for legalization is not the same as it being legal now.[/quote] Ok so you are clearly unable to process any information that you read. Recreational marijuana is legal in CA, CO and WA. You can go to a dispensary and purchase cannabis in several different forms. [/quote] Legal sure. Means you can't be arrested by the state police for appropriate use. Doesn't mean that as an employer I can't fire you or not hire you for not passing a drug test if that's stated in the contract. My sod contractor employer can and will fire me for dialing a drug test legal in the state or not. Yes in certain places it will limit the number of eligible employees and businesses will figure out where their limits are. [/quote] This wasn’t the issue. You can try to demand anything you want but you can’t control what your employee does on their free time. Your employee can also refuse to take a drug test. You can put whatever you want in your contract but you will also need to look at the laws in your state to see if it’s legal to demand drug testing. Also, will need to research the protections for your employee about drug testing. [/quote] It is illegal in the dmv without a doctors note on the state level. It is illegal on the fed level. Families with clearances would ha e a serious issue if drugs were found in their home. If a drug test is refused you get fired. Simple. Welcome to the adult employment world. If you are a professional you’d know all this. [/quote] I’m sorry, what exactly is your point that hasn’t already been said? Do you understand how language and words work? Did someone say marijuana was legal in DC? Common sense tells you that there is the possibility of either getting fired or not hired if you refuse a drug test. You can still refuse to take one. Did you think that wasn’t known? [/quote]
