IMPORTANT GFY CONSENSUS NEEDED: Admitting to drug usage on a job application......

I would like a consensus from the GFY patrons on your opinions of admitting to drug usage on a job application..

its a double edge sword..

if you are honest and say yes, you could be immediately weeded out..

if you are dishonest and say no, you get past the screener but you are now a liar..


what are your thoughts and how would you handle the situation.

I honestly didn't think it was legal to ask that question on an application.

Why would that be? They can have random drug tests.

I dont understand.. You mean if someone says "yes" to something like "do you use drugs?"

Thats easy, dont hire them.

If they say "no", it doesnt mean they're lying. It means no, lol
If you later catch them on the job on drugs, or with drugs, fire them.
Or if you drug test and they've said "no" but tested positive, dont hire them.

That's true. But I didn't think you could actually ask that question on an application or in an interview.

It's one of those things that puts the employer in a tough place. You could suspect it, but you can't legally ask (or so I thought). Then when the drug tests roll in, you're suspicions are confirmed, but NOW you can't even fire the person. As an employer you have to pay to help them with their problem.

In Canada, you're not allowed to ask the person's age either. I would assume for discrimination protection.

You also can't ask if they've ever been in jail. You CAN ask "Have you ever been convicted of a crime for which you have not been granted a pardon?"

All questions just vague enough to protect the applicants rights...according to the lawyers.

drug test are not allowed over here - and some questions (like drug use, pregnancy) are not allowed for privacy reasons
