Companies await state Department of Labor rules on recreational marijuana | The Daily Gazette

The state Department of Labor is in the middle of creating guidelines for employers and employees on the state’s new recreational marijuana laws, meaning it will likely be a bit of time before businesses know what the impact of the law will be.
“It’s just not clear right now,” said Todd Shimkus, president of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce.
Stewart’s, which operates 340 convenience stores in Upstate New York and Vermont and a dairy/ ice cream plant, distribution center and offices in Saratoga Springs, released its 2021 employee handbook, which states that it pre-screened employees for drugs. However, whether that will continue is unclear.
