Marijuana Policy & Best Practices: Handling Employee Use & Historic Marijuana Rescheduling

Is your financial institution prepared to manage medical and recreational marijuana use by employees and job candidates? While it remains illegal on the federal level, despite reclassification from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, states are swiftly legalizing medical and recreational use. Regardless of where your state stands, now is the time to address employee and applicant marijuana use (at the office, home, and elsewhere) and to develop and enforce best practices-based marijuana policy in compliance with your HR rules and the law. This webinar will discuss when, why, and how to test employees for suspected impairment and explain the potential benefits of accommodating medical marijuana use. It will explain what rescheduling does and does not mean for financial institutions. It will also cover regulatory rules set forth by ADA, FMLA, OSHA, DOT, and Workers’ Comp. Learn to communicate cannabis rules, manage employee expectations, support workplace safety, and comply with the courts in the age of legalized marijuana.
