Description:
As marijuana laws continue to diverge at the state level—ranging from full legalization to nuanced medical use protections—multistate employers are increasingly challenged to reconcile conflicting obligations under federal and state law. This fourth installment of our “Multijurisdictional Employers” series will focus on the evolving legal landscape surrounding drug testing in the workplace, with particular emphasis on marijuana.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to navigate this complex regulatory patchwork, mitigate litigation risk, and develop compliant, enforceable drug testing protocols across multiple jurisdictions.
Learning objectives include:
- the legal implications of marijuana legalization and decriminalization on employer drug testing policies;
- key state-by-state distinctions governing pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and random testing;
- federal law considerations, including DOT-regulated employees and federal contractor compliance;
- the intersection of disability accommodation laws and medical marijuana use; and
- policy drafting and enforcement considerations to reduce legal exposure and ensure defensibility in employment actions
