A dank dilemma
As cannabis legalization expands in neighboring states like Illinois and Michigan, Wisconsin employers and attorneys face complex questions around drug testing and discrimination. An employee may use marijuana legally in another state over the weekend, only to return to work Monday and fail a drug test under their Wisconsin employer’s zero-tolerance policy.
This scenario raises critical questions about employee rights and employer responsibilities, especially under the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, which prohibits discrimination based on the lawful use of products during non-working hours. Understanding where the lines are drawn between legality, policy enforcement, and anti-discrimination protections has never been more important.
