Drugs and Alcohol in the Canadian Workplace

In the past few years, the question of whether employers in Canada can require employees and prospective employees to submit to drug and alcohol testing has continued to evolve. The use of medical marijuana and the potential for the legalization of recreational marijuana further complicate the issue. This webinar will provide updates on this changing area of the law and highlight what employers need to keep in mind when crafting drug and alcohol testing policies. Our speakers will address how employers in Canada can comply with laws that protect their employees’ rights to privacy while also taking the steps necessary to maintain safe workplaces.
