Employment expert explains why groundbreaking bill was shot down, and what employees need to know<\/em><\/p>\n

\"California\"Last week, California made the decision<\/a> to shelve a law which would have offered workplace protections to employees who are qualified to use medical marijuana. In part, the bill<\/a> could have allowed these qualified users to be \u201cunder the influence\u201d of medical marijuana at work, provided that they were not unduly impaired or having a negative impact on the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cCritics of California\u2019s AB-2069 said that the bill was too broad and impinged on an employer\u2019s ability to maintain a drug-free workplace,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment solutions expert. \u201cThis is an issue that is only growing in size and scope, as many states now allow marijuana use, either medically or recreationally or both. This has led to some very murky waters for employers, especially as some states prohibit the discrimination of employees with a medical marijuana card, while other states do not.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, what should an employer do to navigate this issue?<\/p>\n

First, Wilson advises employers to get familiar with their state\u2019s specific legislation. He also says, \u201cIf your employees are part of a collective bargaining unit, then it is likely that drug stipulations already exist, including specific limits for drug use. For example, in a recent case, an employee was found to be under the influence while on the job, but he claimed his medical marijuana card gave him permission to use while working. However, a drug test revealed that he was 10 times above his prescribed limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For this reason, Wilson stresses that employers should not just rely on the results of a rapid drug test, as these results do not hold well in a court of law. \u201cIf you live in a state such as Illinois that does not permit the discrimination of employees who use medical marijuana, then you should definitely send the drug test results out to a lab in order to back up any fears that an employee might be using more than he should. However, if you live in a pass\/fail state, this won\u2019t be necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

In most states, Wilson says employers can treat marijuana like alcohol, where even if the employee is legally able to consume it outside of work, it doesn’t give them permission to be under the influence while at work.<\/p>\n

Wilson also stresses the importance of updating your employee handbooks to reflect any changes in the law. \u201cRegulations regarding marijuana use are constantly in flux right now,\u201d he says, \u201cSo it is wise to stay abreast of these changes and have them reflected in your employee handbook. For example, some employers are changing their policy from \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 to \u2018zero impairment.\u2019 At Employco, we recommend that companies add the statement to their handbook that they comply or adhere with all federal laws and do not tolerate any violations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last, Wilson says that a company like Employco can be invaluable in helping employers to navigate these murky waters. \u201cWhether you need help updating your employee handbooks or you want your managers to be re-educated about this issue, we can be of assistance,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
