On Legal Matters Matter this evening we look at the issue of cannabis in the workplace. Although the private use of cannabis is legal in South Africa, having the substance in your system can lead to severe punishments. As with alcohol abuse, an employer may take disciplinary action against an employee, without a test, where the effects of cannabis are clearly observable and it is clear that the employee is too impaired to do their job or are a risk to other employees in the workplace. To elaborate further on this issue, we’re joined by Galeboe Modisapodi, Employment Relations & Employee Benefits Consultant, Accredited Commercial Mediator who’s Partnered with Molatudi Advisory Services (MAS).
