California law recognizes the legitimate need to implement and enforce a drug- and alcohol-free workplace and authorizes employers to do so. However, California also imposes limitations on how employers may enforce drug- and alcohol-free workplace policies.
Next month, the California Chamber of Commerce is presenting a webinar that guides employers through the rules surrounding the implementation and enforcement of a drug- and alcohol-free workplace policy, providing real-world, practical examples to help employers confidently and legally protect their workplace from drug and alcohol use.
Webinar Details
The “Under the Influence—Drugs and Alcohol at Work” webinar will be held on Thursday, March 21, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PT.
