Weed and Leave—How to Manage Two of Employers’ Biggest Headaches

Multistate employers face the daunting task of keeping up with a growing patchwork of employment laws on the federal, state, and local levels. In the second of our multistate compliance three-part series, we will discuss the most recent updates, changes, and challenges to paid safe and sick time laws as well as changing and ever-evolving paid family and medical leave state obligations. In addition, we will discuss the rapidly changing medical and recreational marijuana laws across the country from California and Mississippi to New Jersey and Rhode Island, and everything in between. Finally, we will analyze the impact of these new laws on employers that must balance their right to maintain drug-free workplaces with the rights of their employees.
