- Q. Can a job deny me employment for failing a drug test for marijuana when I legally have a medical marijuana card?
- A: It depends on a number of factors including: Your underlying disability conditions; Whether you have requested disability accommodations; The union contract or other policy under which you were drug tested; The safety sensitivity of your position; Past practices by your employer. I would recommend your consultation with an experienced employment lawyer. Richard
- Q. I've been documenting comments of a sexual nature that my coworker has been saying to me but if I don't have witnesses

In that process and any court case that follows, your contemporary documentation of offensive, harassing comments is likely to enhance the credibility of your complaints. I suggest that you promptly consult with an experienced NJ employment lawyer in order to plan out your steps and documentation for filing an internal and other complaints, charges or lawsuits as are required depending upon your employer’s response and any corrective actions.
