Illinois is now the 22nd State to legalize medical marijuana. Illinois’ Departments are reviewing and issuing regulations addressing the law…should you be too? The simple answer is YES – The Illinois Medical Marijuana law raises significant concerns and issues that employers should address.
Join Mike Wong for a lunchtime webinar in which he will explain what you should be considering and the steps that you should contemplate taking to address the impact of the Illinois medical marijuana law on your business. This webinar will address the timeline for implementation of the law, the interplay of the law with federal law, the implications of this law on employers, including their hiring practices, employee handbooks, drug testing policies, and supervisor training, and other concerns raised by Illinois’ medical marijuana law.
Mike is an associate in Smith Amundsen’s St. Charles office and a member of the firm’s Labor & Employment Practice Group. Mike focuses his practice on advising and representing employers in various labor and employment law matters, including discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims, civil-right claims, FMLA claims, wage and hour issues, class actions, and other labor and employment issues arising under state, federal and administrative laws.
