WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Join MGC for a webinar on how employers can and should start planning to adapt their drug policies and procedures for employees given the rise of legalized marijuana nationally, both for medicinal and recreational use, before it happens in North Carolina. MGC Wilmington attorney Jason Toups will cover how employers can limit their liability in the event of impairment-induced injury or negligence of its employees, and also offer a comparison as to how employers in other states have addressed the issue. Guidance on this topic will also include: adaptation of “zero tolerance” drug testing policies by offering recommendations, potential pitfalls of failure to modify such policies and examples of how other employers have both succeeded and failed in such attempts.
