August 19, 2021
9 - 10:30 a.m. EST

There’s a lot of confusion around what businesses can/can’t and should/shouldn’t do about marijuana. And with the tight labor pool and hearing news that large employers like Amazon are removing marijuana from their testing panels, employers have a lot of questions. 

To help employers sort through the confusion we are offering a webinar so you can better understand some of the obstacles to overcome regarding marijuana ... and hemp .. and THC ... and CBD.

Can Your Employees Take That?
Balancing employees' rights to take medication and your organization's need for a safe and productive workplace can be tricky.

Our newest Protocol Package is designed to help your HR and management teams address this balancing act and develop procedures to address medication use in the workplace.

Protocol Packages are NOT INTENDED for organizations with a Working Partners® Premium Policy, as your policy/program documents already contain the resources provided in these packages.
New Form Required for DOT Testing
Starting August 30, 2021, DOT and other federally regulated employers will need to use the new Custody and Control Form (CCF) when sending an employee for a drug test.

Use of the old CCF form after August 30 will require a Memorandum for Record and could result in processing delays. To avoid these delays now and in the future, regulated employers are being asked to talk to their drug testing providers about switching to electronic forms to assure the most up-to-date forms are used.

For more information, Quest Diagnostic created a nice summary of the changes and included links to DOT and SAMHSA documentation.

¿Habla Español?

On-going employee education about alcohol and other drug issues is important.

To help you provide information to Spanish-speaking employees in their native language, we have compiled a library of Spanish articles and resources on topics about alcohol and other drugs including information on prevention, misuse and treatment.
