What employers can do in dealing with Marijuana in the Workplace in Illinois (webinar).

Attorney Howard Lapin and I conducted a webinar reviewing what employers can do in dealing with Marijuana in the Workplace in Illinois on January 28 2020 at 1:00 PM CST.

The Webinar is over 60 minutes in length.

On June 4, 2019, the Illinois legislature passed the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (the “Cannabis Act”).

Under the Cannabis Act, Illinois residents over 21 years of age may legally possess 30 grams of marijuana flower and five grams of marijuana concentrate for their personal use, starting January 1, 2020.

The Cannabis Act also provides the most extensive workplace protections for employers of any marijuana legalization statute around the country.

In November 2019, Illinois General Assembly passed SB1557 which contains language designed to protect employers from litigation.

The webinar will review:

– What employers can do to prevent Marijuana use in the workplace.
– What drug testing an employer can do.
– What affect the legalization of marijuana may have on your workforce.
– What affect legalization has had in other states.
– What employment policies an employer should put in place to deal with legalization.
– What rights do employee have in smoking on and off employer worksite.
– The pros and cons of zero tolerance policies on your workforce.

This Webinar will include a substantial question and answer period.

This webinar will be important for any insurance broker, HR director or supervisor.
