Minimum Wage and Cannabis: Articles for Employers

A lot is happening for employers right now. Yesterday, minimum wage increased to $15 per hour, a 47% increase in three years. We've chosen two articles that we feel represent the two sides of this story.

Employers are also in the process of editing their employee handbooks for cannabis legalization on October 17. The last article in this collection is an HR article on allowances for Medical Marijuana in the workplace.
