The complicated topic, made even more so by the leaglization of marijuana for medical use, will be discussed during a breakfast seminar June 27 in the DOL’s Wethersfield. The session, called “Drug Testing in Connecticut: Are You Confused Yet?” will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and includes a continental breakfast.
“Understanding the state’s drug testing laws and the impact they have on an employer can often generate complex questions,” said State Labor Commissioner Sharon M. Palmer. “We highly recommend this session to human resource professionals, business owners and managers, attorneys, and other employers who are interested in learning about their rights and responsibilities as they pertain to drug testing affecting the Connecticut workplace.” The subjects covered will include basics on drug-testing, from pre-employment screening to random tests. A registration fee of $25 is due June 19 and should include a registration form available on the agency’s website, www.ct.gov/dol.
Registrations and payment may be mailed to Susan Devito, Connecticut Department of Labor, 200 Folly Brook Boulevard, Wethersfield, CT 06109. Questions can be addressed to her at susan.devito@ct.gov or (860) 263-6757.
