New Rules for Medical Marijuana in the Workplace

Duration: 60 minutes

Marijuana use by employees used to be a simple policy issue. For most, zero tolerance was the default position and drug testing the primary means of enforcement. That’s no longer the case.

Numerous states, plus DC, have now legalized the use of medical marijuana. Many more states have legislation pending or are considering following suit. That means a new set of rules for HR.

The questions are many:
Are zero-tolerance policies a thing of the past?
Do we have to make accommodation for marijuana use on the job?
What do we do when workplace safety issues conflict with medical marijuana usage?
What does this mean for our drug screening policy?

For answers to these questions and more, join employment law expert, Linda Hollinshead, Esq., for this 60-minute webinar. She’ll review employer legal responsibilities with regard to medical marijuana and offer practical guidance on how to navigate issues of accommodation and more.
