Sample Policy - Drug, Alcohol & Cannabis (California)

Sample Compliance Template: Drug, Alcohol & Cannabis (California)

For California employers, a carefully drafted Drug, Alcohol & Cannabis Policy is critical because state law now protects lawful off-duty cannabis use while still permitting employers to prohibit on-duty impairment. A compliant policy helps avoid discrimination claims under FEHA and AB 2188 by clearly distinguishing metabolite-based test results from evidence of actual impairment. It also protects the organization in safety-sensitive and federally regulated roles where stricter standards may lawfully apply.

Additional Information

From a litigation standpoint, a well-structured policy strengthens the employer’s defense against wrongful termination, disability discrimination, and retaliation claims.
