Lots of mixed signals here. Does anyone have confirmation - the goldfish plans on packing a bowl later tonight.
“Can employers prohibit the use of cannabis outside of the workplace?
No, unless the employer is permitted to do so pursuant to the provisions of Labor Law Section 201-D(4-a).” - from the New York State DoL.
See: https://dol.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/10/p420-cannabisfaq-10-0…
Pretty sure only use of heavy machinery and federal employees are subject to testing.
In short: no they won’t test you. Just don’t show up high and you’re fine.
Wouldn’t rely on this, had to do urine test (screened for THC, too) for NYC internship at an AM because I was 21. this law only applies for 21+ because it is legal
I hope not
No they didn’t for any incoming analysts last year AFAIK.
No. Source: previous SA
At least as of 2018... they didn't for SA's
interned there last summer. Nope, no drug tests and multiple bankers + at least one other intern smoked
I will pass on this information to the goldfish, I am sure it will be sleeping better at night now
Lol
They don’t — interned there last summer.
Bump?
Yes I’m down
Worked at HL for a few years. They don’t drug test. However you probably will test plenty of drugs with your colleagues.
