We test at hire and for cause, and  THC would be reported as a positive drug screen.  Positive drug screen would be excluded from employment.  If UDS is done for cause by an  individual who is an employee, HR would work with the individual regarding seeking treatment and future monitoring.

List,

 

With the changes in some state laws regarding recreational marijuana, I would be interested in hearing how other healthcare organizations are handling pre-placement drug screening for THC.  Are THC positive drug screens excluded from employment? Has anyone stopped testing for THC in pre-placement screening? Do you handle medical marijuana differently than recreational?

 

Thank you,
