While you have the right to expect and require sobriety from workers on the job, it can become a bit tricky when you suspect drug use and want to act on your fears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Wilson says that if you work in a non-unionized environment, you should ask a supervisor or human resources team member to help you determine if an employee is under the influence of marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your suspicions are backed up by other leaders in your company, you can discipline and even terminate your employee,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>If you work in a collective-bargaining workplace, Wilson says that you should have a series of steps laid out in your handbook that will help everyone understand what the outcome of marijuana use on the job will be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese steps might include drug testing, verbal warnings, and even requiring your employee to enroll in a EAP program if they want to keep their job,\u201d says Wilson, referring to Employee Assistance Programs which can offer drug counseling for employees struggling with addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson says that even though Americans\u2019 rights are changing as it relates to marijuana use, employers can still have a zero-tolerance policy about drug use on the job, even if the employee has the legal right to use marijuana recreationally or medically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it is against the law to discriminate against someone simply because they have a medical marijuana card, as this could be seen as discrimination against someone with a disability, you can still require sobriety among your employees and treat marijuana the same way you would alcohol or prescription drugs like Vicodin,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cWhether an employee is driving heavy machinery or approving loans, you need your workers to be clear-headed and capable of performing at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human resources expert explains new law regarding positive marijuana tests \u00a0 Starting on January 1st, Nevada became the first state in the nation to make it illegal for a company to discriminate against potential hires who test positive for marijuana&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/03\/how-workplace-drug-testing-will-change-in-2020\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-human-resources"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
