What happens in life, reverberates in labor and employment law. Movements morph into legislation. Today's trend becomes tomorrow's law.

The shift and the shoreline changes. A familiar beach looks very different. Our engaging program examines how recent societal shifts, such as the “MeToo” movement, as well as significant legislative and case law developments are shifting the tides in labor and employment law, and affecting how we counsel clients, litigate issues and settle lawsuits. Our distinguished panel discusses critical recent developments, looks ahead to labor and employment trends looming on the horizon, and provides guidance about navigating through difficult waters.

The opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions, making daily headlines and marijuana restrictions are beginning to change in New Jersey. Substance use disorder, in all of its forms, is now one of the most pressing behavioral healthcare issues. All employers, including law firms, are affected. Addiction is a treatable disease. How employers address substance use disorder matters - not only to employees with addictions, but to coworkers, clients and customers. This newly-expanded program explores the parameters of addiction and employment law, with a specific focus on law firms.

• What types of policies and monitoring mechanisms should an employer have in place?
What should employer do if an employee has a substance use disorder?

This thought-provoking program will take attendees through suspicion, initial discovery, treatment, recovery, reentry into the work place and follow up. The program features leading employment lawyers (both plaintiff’s and defense) and medical and psychological experts on addiction and recovery.

• New Jersey’s New Marijuana posture

• Implementing Substance Use Policies and Monitoring Mechanisms

• Recognizing the Warning Signs of Addiction

• What an Employer May Do to Approach an Employee Suspected of Current
Substance Use

• When an Employer May Require Testing and When Doing So Could Create
