NY Employers Can No Longer Test Employees For Marijuana
Written by DJ Sight on October 22, 2021
A new guidance from the New York State Department of Labor says companies can no longer hold employees responsible for using marijuana outside of the workplace.
The department quietly released new guidelines forbidding the majority of employers, both public and private, from testing their employees for marijuana.
According to the Department of Labor, individuals who are not legally considered employees (such as contractors) and individuals who are under the legal age of consumption (21) are not protected by the rule change.
