The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission recently issued interim guidance for employers who suspect that an employee is impaired at work.
As mentioned in a prior alert, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (NJCREAMMA) calls for employers to have, on staff, trained workplace impairment recognition “experts” to identify when there is a reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of cannabis for drug testing and workplace investigation purposes. The interim guidance is designed to be used until the Commission finalizes the standards used to certify such experts.
