With new state laws having legalized medicinal and recreational marijuana, many HR Professionals are confused on how to apply their organization's drug-free workplace policies and/or handle issues with applicants or employees who may fail a drug screen due to medical marijuana.
For instance, do you have to hire an applicant if you are in a state in which medical marijuana is lawful, or are you allowed to refuse to hire anyone who tests positive for marijuana?
What if an applicant for employment with your company fails your drug screen. What are your obligations?
What if an employee comes to you after testing positive and claims that they have a medical marijuana card and are allowed to use medical marijuana out of the workplace, which is why they tested positive?
Additionally, must you provide individuals with a "reasonable accommodation" under ADA law that allows them to use medical marijuana in your workplace if they use it for medicinal purposes in a state that has legalized marijuana?
Issues such as these highlight just some of the many questions for HR, and the answers may surprise you!
