If I had to do mandatory drug tests on my employees, they both would fail....guaranteed.
I know for a fact that one of my employees smokes pot on a daily basis after work. He's a hard worker and does the job right. He's been working for me for almost a year, and he's never missed a day of work, nor is he ever late. I have yet to receive a complaint from a customer about him.
A previous employee I had didn't smoke pot, yet he needed a cattle prod to keep him working, and would continually screw up the work. I would receive at least 2 customer complaints about him every month. Needless to say, he was let go.
Which one would you hire?
The bottom line is, what they do on their time is their business, provided it's not brought onto the job or affects their work in any way.
