About this Webinar

Whether for medical or recreational use, legalization of marijuana is having an enormous impact on employers. This interactive seminar will provide an overview of an employer’s obligations in conducting drug and alcohol testing on applicants and employees. The webinar also addresses frequently asked questions raised by employers who conduct such testing, as well as covering an employer’s obligations under various state and federal laws.

IN THIS FREE WEBINAR We WILL:

• Discuss best practices for drug testing policies
• Discuss state laws that may protect employees who use marijuana (medical or recreational)
• Discuss how the federal DOT rules apply
• Discuss potential implications under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
