Clearing the Haze: Marijuana Use, Drug Testing, and Hiring in Today’s Workplace

June 17, 202612:00 pm ESTOnline Only

Employers today are increasingly confronted with the complicated and rapidly evolving legal framework governing marijuana use in the workplace. With ever-changing laws varying widely across states, many organizations struggle to strike the right balance between maintaining safe, compliant workplaces and respecting employee rights. This can leads to confusion, inconsistent policies, and potential disputes when issues arise involving employee marijuana use, drug testing protocols, or criminal history.

Join FBT Gibbons attorneys Kate Koop and Matt Schubert for an in-depth discussion designed to help employers navigate these challenges with greater clarity and confidence. They will examine the latest developments affecting workplaces where employees may hold medical marijuana cards or reside in jurisdictions that permit recreational use. In addition, the session will provide practical guidance on establishing and administering effective drug testing policies, as well as key considerations and common pitfalls when evaluating criminal history in hiring and employment decisions.
