Webinar Description
Millions of Californians use cannabis or alcohol on a regular basis. Others may use or abuse prescription narcotics, and some may use more illicit drugs.
While much of this drug and alcohol use is legal and responsible, any substance use may pose health and safety risks for employees at work.
California law recognizes the legitimate need to implement and enforce a drug- and alcohol-free workplace and authorizes employers to do so. However, California also imposes limitations on how employers may enforce drug- and alcohol-free workplace policies.
This webinar will expertly guide employers through the rules surrounding the implementation and enforcement of a drug- and alcohol-free workplace policy, providing real-world, practical examples to help you confidently and legally protect your workplace from drug and alcohol use.
Join our California employment law experts as they discuss:
- Creating and implementing an alcohol- and drug-free workplace policy;
- Conducting pre-employment drug screenings;
- Conducting drug and alcohol screenings on current employees;
- Special considerations for cannabis use;
- Handling reasonable accommodation and leave requests related to rehabilitation; and
- Discipline for drug and alcohol use, including last chance agreements.
