Medical Marijuana in the Workplace
Your legal right to use medical marijuana protects you from criminal prosecution, but not from employer drug testing programs. If you were taking a different legally prescribed drug for your condition, you would most likely be protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). However, this protection hasn’t been extended to medical marijuana.

EMPLOYMENT LAW
Employers are allowed to set standards for employee conduct, and they can require that workers keep a clean criminal record upon hire. As an employee, disclosure laws vary by state and the industry you work in. Furthermore, an employer generally may not use a consumer credit report for employment purposes with certain specific exceptions.

A recent Supreme Court ruling holds that the Affordable Care Act authorized federal tax credits for eligible Americans living not only in states with their own exchanges but also in the 34 states with federal marketplaces. It staved off a major political showdown and a mad scramble in states that would have needed to act to prevent millions from losing health care coverage.

An employee must understand what he/she is protected from and an employer must understand what his obligations to an at-will employee are. Understanding the interplay of an employer-employee relationship will facilatate loyalty through a spirit of “partnership” rather than through a perception of boss to worker. This will allow your focus to turn to growth rather than employee turnover.

Some employers discipline their employees by docking their pay or putting them on unpaid suspension for violating workplace rules. However, such a policy can create big problems if the employee whose pay is reduced is exempt from such suspensions because he or she is paid on a salary basis and generally exercises a certain degree of responsibility and discretion in doing the job. In this show, Bill and Rick discuss when salary deductions are applicable and how unpaid suspension exceptions apply.
