Marcus, shareholder for Littler Mendelson P.C., who represents and advises New Jersey employers in various aspects of employment law. WRNJ’s Morning Program and B•Inspired podcast host Bert Baron will moderate.

“As New Jersey navigates the complexities of legal marijuana and evolving drug testing technologies, it is crucial for businesses to stay ahead of the curve,” said Angelo Valente, Executive Director of PDFNJ.  “This webinar serves as a platform for employers to gain insights and guidance on adapting their workplace policies."

Attendees will receive resources post-webinar to update their policies in compliance with regulatory changes. To register for the webinar, visit the Partnership for a Drug-Free NJ website at http://ddw.drugfreenj.org/register.
