Illinois just legalized recreational marijuana, effective January 1, 2020. This presents challenges for employers, but there is a way to #DUEIT. Illinois employers should do the following:

• Discuss how your company wants to treat marijuana
• Update your drug-screening policies
• Establish a written procedure for employees to contest a related disciplinary decision
• And use Impairment Training to help supervisors and managers identify signs and symptoms of impairment
