Administrative Assistance Legal Security 
Ask a Manager

I was surprised since I’m in a marijuana legal state, and there had been no mention of drug testing (I’m an administrative assistant, not for a government agency). I was candid with HR that I am a medical CBD and recreational marijuana user, and expressed respectful surprise that they test for THC in a state where it’s legal.

I never worked from home, as my role as a receptionist/administrative assistant isn’t conducive to that. Two, by reporting all your pay in your husband’s name, it’s counting toward his Social Security earnings and not yours. I am a woman in my mid-twenties. What would enforcing this policy even look like?

I asked because in previous situations, security finds out and since they are friends with other employees, they spread rumors and make sure everyone in the store finds out. I guess security started telling everyone that corporate made the decision to fire me, which I had no idea about. Is this legal?

I work in a not for profit legal center as a paralegal with approximately 20 employees. I was hired through a temporary agency as an administrative assistant for a large logistics firm. Having to contact multiple people when calling in sick. I lost my voice and had a fever Friday, so I called in sick for the first time.

I have been at my new job as an administrative assistant for just over two months. My other already approved trip is for two weeks next month and I am worried for my job security. Is this legal? My boss is advertising my job because I got sick before some pre-approved vacation time. What is the best course of action here?
