Episode 71: Marijuana Use And The Workplace: What Employers Need To Know

Episode Notes

Employers can enforce rules that prohibit employees from using marijuana both on-duty and off-duty. This may be surprising to residents of Colorado, where marijuana is legal. Special guests, Lauren Snow and John Sauer join Karl Frank, CFP and Nathan Merrill to answer questions and help business owners manage employees who use Cannabis.

• Is it permissible for employers to prohibit employees from using cannabis while not at work?
• What is the case law in Colorado? Does it protect or imperil employers or employees?
• Will Colorado change the law?
• What about the US Federal Government and will cannabis become legal?

In particular, employers want to know about the legal precedent set by Coates vs. Dish Network. Everyone may be surprised that in Colorado, even though marijuana is legal, employers have a lot of power.
