North Star SHRM

North Star SHRM will be hosting a seminar titled: Medical Marijuana Impacts on Employers. It will be held at the Minnesota School of Business (11500 193rd Avenue, Elk River) on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 from 8 am to 9:30 am.



All North Star SHRM members are invited to attend. In addition, all Elk River and I-94 West Chamber members, and Minnesota School of Business students are invited to attend. There is no cost to attend. The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and any small business owners.



Minnesota recently became the 23rd state to legalize medical marijuana. Although the new law could improve opportunities for treatment of those suffering from certain medical conditions, it may create issues for employers and employees in "drug-free" workplaces. This is due, in part, to the fact that marijuana is still an illegal controlled substance under federal law.Further, unlike medical marijuana laws in other states, Minnesota's law gives additional protections to employees for the use of marijuana under certain circumstances. This law also interplays with Minnesota's existing laws regarding the use of lawful consumable products and Minnesota's Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act.



 

While the legal implications of this law have not yet been tested in the courts, employers should become aware of how this law can impact the workplace. Learning objectives are:

  • Learn about employee protections built into the medical marijuana law for registered users
  • Learn how the medical marijuana act interplays with Minnesota's Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act and other laws
  • Learn how the medical marijuana act interplays with the reasonable accommodations process

This seminar will be presented by Chad A. Staul. Chad focuses his practice on employment litigation, representing clients in both state and federal courts, as well as before the EEOC and other federal, state and local agencies. He has defended employers against claims involving workplace discrimination; harassment; retaliation; wage and hour claims; and breach of contract, including claims involving non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and other common law tort claims.

 

Prior to joining Wessels Sherman, Mr. Staul gained valuable experience working for the Saint Paul City Attorney's Office by successfully representing clients in over 200 administrative proceedings as well as in state court.

 

Mr. Staul earned his Juris Doctor Magna cum laude from Hamline University School of Law, where he was both an associate editor of the Hamline Law Review and participant in the American Bar Association Mediation Moot Court. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Saint Cloud State University.
