(ii) restrict an employer from taking disciplinary action if an employee appears to be \u201cunder the influence\u201d while at work or (iii) nullify an employer\u2019s policies restricting the use of marijuana by employees.\u00a0 Indeed, the Act does not create any additional protections for employees while they are at work.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dreamstime L 41623799 1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-74 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/employerdefensereport.connmaciel.stagingarea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/09\/dreamstime_l_41623799-1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"dreamstime_l_41623799 (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, DC employers should continue to feel free to promulgate and enforce rules prohibiting employees from bringing marijuana with them to their place of work and\/or being under the influence of marijuana while at work.\u00a0 DC Employers are also free to enforce zero-tolerance policies, and may lawfully terminate any employee or deny a position to a prospective employee based on a positive test for marijuana, so long as such a denial does not occur prior to the extension of a conditional job offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As states continue to pass legislation legalizing medical marijuana and with nearly twenty states passing laws decriminalizing the use of marijuana in some capacity, employers often inquire as to how they should consider marijuana use during the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[874,878,826],"class_list":["post-8779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-state-local-trends","tag-drug-testing-cannabis-law","tag-local-ordinances-jurisdictional-rules","tag-policy-handbooks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D.C.
