MARIJUANA IN THE WORKPLACE
In Canada, new laws are in place and effective October 17, 2018 recreational use of marijuana/cannabis will be legal in addition to the medical marijuana laws which have been in place for almost 20 years. There remains many questions about effects of marijuana use, detection, and what constitutes impairment levels. The legislation however is very clear in that employers reserve the right to prohibit use or possession of marijuana in the workplace, unless medically approved (as has been the case for many years).
For your quick reference, please see the Marijuana in the Workplace policy and the TwoGreySuits Marijuana in the Workplace webinar presentation below:
