Marijuana and the Workplace: How to Prioritize Safety While Avoiding Liability [L1]

A growing number of states have legalized marijuana not only for medical purposes but also for recreational use. Far from a purely academic discussion filled with meaningless legal jargon, this fast-paced presentation will address real-life situations and provide nuts-and-bolts guidance. We will cover a variety of common issues, including pre-hire drug screening, post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing, zero-tolerance policies, progressive discipline, leaves of absence, and processing medical documentation. We will explain the rules of the road for employers to maintain a safe working environment while avoiding liability for breach of privacy and disability discrimination claims.
