I work for a hospital in Illinois. When recreational passed, we were sent notice that the hospital recognizes the legality, instructs (like with alcohol) that it’s not to be used during your work hours, and that if you have reason to believe that your usage will interfere with your work, please speak to your manager about it.
They barely test for it in NJ anymore. State laws have protected users. I just took a test for a job was 10 panel - NO THC. In NJ they have to prove that you are impaired on work hours PLUS a positive test to take action. Just the test alone doesn’t work.
This doesn’t apply to federal positions… and placed with federal contracts can chose to ignore this.
My company stopped testing for weed several years before it was legal in my city, once the neighboring state 5 minutes from our downtown legalized most of the business gave up enforcing thc tests. I’m sure the yokels continued to test but the cities gave up
It’s gonna depend on how each state phrases the law. It just became legal in Minnesota and the law specifically states that employers cannot discriminate against employees who test positive on a drug test, and employers would have to prove it was used on the job to terminate an employee.
Other states might leave provisions like that out, on purpose or otherwise.

CDL holders is still tested normally.
Even cops can use marijuana off duty in NJ.
its still a mess but for the most part, businesses won’t test for weed unless they have federal clients or another office in a non-legal state

If it is federally illegal then it will still be forbidden to those who interact with the federal government.
While forbidden, I doubt that even the feds would test for it at this point.
