2020 - Legalization of Cannabis Creates New Human Resource Concerns

OVERVIEW
Cannabis, or marijuana, is illegal under federal law. However, at least 30 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medicinal use and nine states, soon to be more, have legalized it for recreational use. This conflict presents a unique challenge to employers. At the same time, the illegal use of legal prescription drugs has reached, in the words of the Center for Disease Control, epidemic status. What do employers need to know about this new drug environment at work? What policies and procedures need to be addressed? How do employers comply with the new regulations? What about my pre-employment drug testing program? These questions and others will be answered by this webinar
