    Marijuana & Drug Testing

    Marijuana’s legalization and growth has led to various challenges for employers including updating their drug policies and determining when it’s appropriate to send employees for drug testing  This presentation will help attendees prepare for and address an employee’s use of marijuana by discussing developing trends and recent court decisions surrounding state and federal marijuana laws.
