Are You Vulnerable?
The contemporary workplace is both complex and dynamic. Ever-expanding regulatory schema provide enhanced employee protections and impose increasingly rigid obligations upon employers. The accurate discernment and documentation of cannabis impairment prior to imposition of adverse action, e.g., applicant non-selection, suspension, demotion, or termination is among the most pressing issues.
More than 75% of states have legalized access to medicinal cannabis, while 50% have legalized the purchase, possession, and consumption of adult-use cannabis. Several jurisdictions look to New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (“CREAMMA”) for best practices. Notably, these include the creation of a Workplace Impairment Recognition Expert (“WIRE”), whose role is to maintain the dynamic tension between an employee’s right to engage in legal, off-the-clock activity and an employer’s omnipresent obligation to ensure a hazard-free workplace.
