Started an application for a job at Aon and it said they perform pre employment drug screening. Would cannabis use in a state where it is legal disqualify a candidate?

Does CNA drug test?

I passed a drug screen last year for Chubb, not a progressive company by any stretch. They did not screen for cannabis in NY state.

The basic pee cup used for drug test does include marijuana cocaine amphetamines pcp opiates. If its a position with patient contact or security they may require and 8 or 12 panel. THC can be detected if you are a heavy user for a few weeks. I think it comes down to do you really want the job if so you will need to make a small sacrifice for what could be and increase or better employment situation for you.

It depends on the state laws and the company policy.... To my knowledge, most do not offer employee protection when it comes to this unfortunately.

It's so confusing navigating drug screening policies, especially with cannabis being legal in so many places. Typically, companies like Aon may still test for cannabis, even in legal states, especially if it affects job performance. It might be worth checking their specific policy or reaching out to HR for clarification. You could also just stop using until they drug test you?

“Hi HR, this is Joe Smith. I want to apply for a job, but I’m trying to find out what your drug testing policy is?”
Do not be confused when you do not get offered a position.😎

If it's against their policies absolutely.

Yes

Most tests are urine and you can stop for a week and be fine.

Maybe not but that’s been my experience in the past. I don’t smoke or do weed anymore so I’ll be honest and say it’s been a minute.

Yes they will screen for it! Drink a blocker

yes

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
