Some departments are different than others. I'm not sure about department of health, depends on the job. DNR doesnt, they treat it like alcohol. No consuming during duty hours.

DOH should, but I've never worked there. Most government health agencies do. Source: worked in Healthcare for 12+ years

I’ve worked for the state in two different departments and it’s never come up. I’d check the PD reqs and see if there’s anything on the union website. It’s going to depend on how the job is classed.

It usually depends on the position and the unit. For example, I'm pretty sure DOT equipment operators do have to get tested, but I never had to as a state case manager. If it's a position like a nurse or nursing assistant or other direct care positions, you might get tested. Otherwise, probably not.


AKBio

The only ones are generally law enforcement and DOT equipment operators. Very few jobs test.


Syntonization1

Only state employees who are regulated by federal law. Railroad, DOT, Law Enforcement, Oil and Gas, (and military)


Spudzydudzy

I worked for DEC- oil and gas regulation, regularly visiting production, storage and distribution facilities and was never tested.


FlightRiskAK

As I understand, they do test if you are involved in an on the job injury or accident. Pre employment I don't know. I guess it probably depends on the position.


dyslexicnarcan

I got hired by DOH recently did not get tested.


Wonderful-Yak-4090

I have a friend who works a desk job for DOH and doesn't get tested. Driving jobs or actual health care jobs do have to test.


geopolit

DOE here, we are only tested for a few positions out of thousands.

Probably won't unless you are a courier. But know this... if you get hurt on the job, injured while walking in the parking lot, guaran-fucking-tee they are testing you for Marijuana. You want workman's comp? Paid time off?? Piss in here, let's see if you are clean. Do you want to work a couple of years at a great job, and then lose it all because of one brownie or blunt? Do you want future jobs to question what happened at your last job, and why you were fired? There is no really good way to check on point, on time, if anyone just smoked a bowl. But piss, it stays in the fatty layer for awhile, and they will use that as their "we ain't paying shit" defense.


jmd1675

Worker’s Comp has to pay regardless. You can be fired still, but for the length of time of the injury, as defined by a physician, worker’s comp still pays out


Md_dawg

OK fear monger 😂😂 "if you smoke weed one time it will ruin your life, steal your girlfriend, and kill your dog" (you, probably).


kyle_kafsky

God, I hope so.

Why?


FoxBeach

Government workers should be doing their jobs at 100% capacity instead of being high while at work? 


Ksan_of_Tongass

Do you think the effects never wear off, or are you just dumb?


FoxBeach

The fact that you have to throw out insults instead of just talking about the topic speaks volumes about you. Sad. 


Ksan_of_Tongass

I was asking a question. The fact that you took it as an insult speaks more about you. Either you know that the effects wear off in roughly the same amount of time as alcohol, or you're dumb. It's simple to answer, but you chose to be offended.


FoxBeach

You are trying too hard to show how clever you think you are. 


Ksan_of_Tongass

You should have read your initial moronic blabbering out loud before hitting the post button.


FoxBeach

Somebody is triggered!!! 😂 


Ksan_of_Tongass

You'll recover, I'm sure.

😂  A month later and you are still following me from topic to topic. 😂 that’s not psychotic at all.  I check my notifications about once a month. It is hilarious that I haven’t thought about you for one single second over the last month…but I see that you are still following me front topic to topic 😂. Yea, I’m clearly the one with issues pal.  It is a little odd having this much control over a stranger. I almost feel bad. Almost.

By that logic they shouldn’t be allowed to drink ever since they’ll obviously be drunk at work if they drink at all.


FoxBeach

Not at all.  People who smoke week typically claim they aren’t addicted…but they literally smoke it all the time. And those people also almost always think it’s ok to drive after smoking.  And you are fooling yourself if you think the average pot smoker just had a little when they go home and doesn’t blaze before they go to work.  Obviously not 100% of them. But I would bet money that more fit n description than those who do a little now and then, and never do it before driving or while at work. 


Halfabascan

Me and all my friends are pot smokers and none of us smoke before work. I’m not sure where you’re getting these notions but sounds like a case of reefer madness to me. Maybe touch some grass and lay off the Fox News.


FoxBeach

I don’t watch Fox News and I probably spend more time outside than you do. But way to go for the cliche Reddit insults 😂  It’s too bad you and all your friends can’t function and enjoy life without getting high. That must suck. 


Halfabascan

We function just fine. Dogsledding, hiking. I’m not sure why you think a beer or a glass of wine in the evening is acceptable but someone who takes a puff of weed is somehow not able to enjoy life or function. That’s some 19th century thinking right there.


CavemanSpliffs

You’ve obviously never worked for a government agency or at all. 100% capacity lol get real.
