[NY] Should I disclose THC use to a new job/company before drug test?
I’ve worked at the same company for 16 years. Had an injury that resulted in a 6 month recovery on short term disability. I began vaping THC during my time off (which is legal in NY).
I got another job recently and during the onboarding process, they are sending me for a drug test (10 nondot urine). It’s kind of murky online whether THC is tested for (it’s illegal for companies to do so in NY unless they have federal ties/contracts etc, but idk if the new place does). I did quit vaping when I found out I got the job, but I’m worried it will still be in my system.
I’ve already put in my notice at my other job, so I’m freaking out a bit. A friend suggested I should preemptively call HR of the new company and explain the situation, ask if THC is tested for/a dealbreaker, then ask for an extension or retest if possible. As HR, would this be a good or bad idea?
