I spoke with an attorney, who informed me that when a business hires employees from out of state (i.e. remote workers), the company is required to be registered in the state where the employee is and must follow the employment regulations of that state. Therefore, because NY law protects employees from discrimination against legal use of THC, the company has to abide by that law in NY regardless of where the company is located.
As an aside, I went to the drug testing facility and as they were wrapping up my urine specimen, I asked the nurse what they were testing me for. She said it was a full drug panel minus THC because of the new 201D NY regulation.
I passed the drug test and start my new job in 2 weeks!
Thought this update would be helpful for anyone in similar situations who live in a state where recreational marijuana use is legal and are looking for new employment opportunities.
