Addiction is a disease that is difficult for all those who are around the addicted person - whether it be family or co-workers, supervisors, etc. Often, if an addict can learn to live without the substance, they can be productive and excellent employees. This webinar will walk you through some of the thorny legal issues employers face when dealing with addiction - legalization of marijuana; legalities of drug testing; addictions and the FMLA; and addictions and the ADAAA.
Studies show that when compared to non-substance abusers, substance-abusing employees are more likely to change jobs frequently; be late or absent from work; be less productive employees; be involved in a workplace accident; and file a workers' compensation claim. Each year, alcohol and drug abuse costs American businesses approximately $100 billion in lost productivity. There are direct costs for related injuries and health problems, and indirect costs for absenteeism, productivity, workplace injuries, workers' compensation and disability claims.
