Join Lane Powell to discuss employee and prospective employee drug testing policies and practices in the long term care setting. Is your community testing for marijuana use? Is your community allowing non-clinical staff, or clinical staff, to test positive for marijuana use? How does Washington’s new law prohibiting discrimination in hiring against off the job use of marijuana affect long term care providers? Drug testing policies and hiring practices should be complaint and come with a balancing of risk related to your community’s staffing needs. Join us as we discuss current state and federal laws on marijuana testing in the employment setting, and how those laws impact hiring and operations in the long term care setting. We will also discuss alternative approaches to drug testing policies, and how these modified drug testing policies could increase legal exposure related to both resident care and employee-related liability claims.
