This session:
On July 1, 2021, possession of small amounts of marijuana became legal in Virginia, and the floodgates were immediately opened. While the legislation was not aimed at addressing marijuana use in the workplace, common sense dictates that legalizing weed inevitably impacts work.
In this one-hour session, we’ll discuss the rights employers have to regulate conduct in-house along with the workplace policies and standards employers need to review in light of the new laws. We will also look at how marijuana legalization has affected employers in other states, and of course there will be time set aside for a Q&A session with attendees. Hope to see you there!
