Revisiting an issue area that they have become experts in, Partners Burke Dunphy and Steve Shaw provide insight on the constantly evolving challenge of workplace drug and alcohol policy and law. In this CALPELRA* session video, you’ll learn about recent developments that will help you navigate the minefields of recreational and medicinal marijuana use, pre- and post-employment drug testing, handling of intoxicated employees, the protection of prescription medication users, and when an employer should initiate the interactive process and offer reasonable accommodation as opposed to turning to discipline for employees under the influence at work. This video covers new case law, legislation, and approaches in these areas, with an emphasis on developments within the last year. See presentation slides here.
