Drug Testing Employees in the LTC Setting: Risks and Alternatives Webinar
Is your community testing for marijuana use? Is your community allowing non-clinical staff, or clinical staff, to test positive for marijuana use? Elimination of drug testing requirements, or changes to your existing drug testing policies and hiring practices, should come with a balancing of risk with your community’s staffing needs.
Join us as we discuss current state and federal laws on marijuana testing in the employment setting, and how those laws impact hiring and operations in the long term care setting.
We will also discuss alternative approaches to drug testing policies, and how these modified drug testing policies could increase legal exposure related to both resident care and employee-related liability claims.
