Questions Cloud Legal Recreational Cannabis in NJ
by Susan S. Hodges, Esq.
Chair, Labor and Employment, Parker McCay
Recreational cannabis has come to New Jersey, but the situation remains hazy when it comes to employment issues.
For employers, there is uncertainty with liability, discipline, and keeping a drug-free workplace.
For employees, questions swirl about retention, testing, union requirements, and impairment during work.
With so many unanswered questions on both sides, it is imperative for companies to be up-to-date on the continued discussion and implementation of regulations surrounding recreational cannabis in the workplace.
Protecting the company and its most valuable assets, its employees, from costly litigation should be paramount to all company stakeholders as the state moves incrementally forward addressing the myriad of contingencies that will inevitably unfold around this issue.
Employers should realize that there is currently no proven test to detect real-time cannabis intoxication, making it nearly impossible for an employer to establish that one of its employees was under the influence of cannabis during working hours in support of disciplining or terminating the employee for improper cannabis use.
This being the case it is prudent that companies protect themselves by retaining competent, knowledgeable, and expert legal counsel to address cannabis issues in the workplace.
As this sticky situation continues to evolve the old adage, “better safe than sorry” is still the best advice.

NJ Debates Proposal to Include Salary Info With Job Postings
By: New Jersey 101.5
As some legislators aim to make New Jersey the next state to mandate pay or salary ranges with job postings, business advocacy groups say New Jersey may benefit from not pulling the trigger just yet.
Proposed laws in the Assembly and Senate would force employers to include the hourly wage or salary of an open position, or at least a range of compensation, with each job listing, along with a description of all the benefits that come with the position.

NJEDA Business Assistance Survey | |
The Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey (CCSNJ) is seeking feedback from members who have applied for grants, loans, tax incentives or other business/nonprofit assistance programs offered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).
Specifically, the CCSNJ is asking members that have participated in or applied for any of NJEDA’s numerous assistance programs to take a brief 14 questions survey (completion time 3 – 5 minutes) about the application process and timeline. The CCSNJ’s goal in conducting this survey is to provide NJEDA with detailed information and recommendations as to how to improve future application processes and communication from within the Authority to applicants.
Please complete the survey by Friday, April 21. If you have any questions, contact Hilary Chebra, Manager of Government Affairs at hchebra@chambersnj.com.

The U.S. Chamber and Chamber Foundation's America Works initiative launched the America Works Data Center (AWDC) to help address the workforce shortage crisis. Currently, if every unemployed person in the country found a job, the United States would still have 4.9 million open jobs.
To help employers understand the state of the workforce, including the trends on job openings, labor force participation, quit rates, and more they created the AWDC Airtable. This tool allows employers to access all of the national, state

"I believe every person has value & a story to tell. Deep listening and in person meeting is the best way to begin any relationship. I've never met anyone who doesn't want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. I believe we all have much to share with one another & collaboration rather than competition , fosters a win, win,win outcome. "
