How do you know if you've been reported?

Published

I see so many people on here talking about the BON and hearing that they've been reported by their employer, etc. I'm in my states monitoring program and have been for the past year and I still have a little over a year left (I'm pregnant so apparently I'll be getting extended by 3 months while I'm out on maternity leave, which is absolute BS considering they'll continue testing me anyway). Anyway, I've never been contacted by the BON or The office of professional discipline to let me know I'm being investigated, etc. so I'm really curious if my job ever actually reported me? I just entered my states monitoring program because that's what I was told to do by my job (I still work at the same place). My issue wasn't diversion, it was alcohol. I have no AUD, was just hungover. Mistake on my part, I know. I just want to know how I would find out if I ever was reported. 

@Healer555 I do not have SUD and I was not taking controlled substances.

Someone reported you for being impaired and you weren't taking anything? Did they test you at the time? The bad and sad for you is that a hair or nail test can prove your innocence for drugs but not alcohol.  You may or may not get a monitoring agreement. Hope you don't

That bodes well for you that they tested you..common sense would say you'll be fine but these people ....

This may be the time a lawyer would help if needed

@Healer555 I have absolutely no way of being able to afford a lawyer so wish me luck. I'm devastated.
