A law barring California businesses from penalizing or firing employees who use marijuana on their own timeAssembly Bill 2188, set to take effect Jan. 1., prohibits employers from discriminating against workers who are found to have traces of cannabis in their hair, blood, urine or other bodily fluids by a test that detects only whether an employee has consumed cannabis in recent weeks.
“If someone is working from home it would be a lot easier for them to potentially smoke marijuana,” Bennett said. “This isn’t on the radar for most employers yet, partly because of the delay in implementation.” The bill promotes marijuana use to a protected class, on par with race, color, religion, sex, national origin or disability.
