The CRC says that workers have the right to use marijuana on their off-time but adds that businesses also have the right to keep a drug-free workplace.
“Employers have the right to maintain a drug-free workplace…Employers may require an employee to undergo a drug test upon reasonable suspicion of an employee’s usage of cannabis or cannabis products…” the CRC wrote in its guidance.
“A drug test alone is not sufficient to support an adverse employment decision but now you can use this framework to develop additional evidence, signs someone is impaired,” says Jeff Brown, executive director of the commission.
