Mandatory Sexual Harassment Avoidance Training

Compliance Alert: Effective January 1, 2019, California employers with 5 or more employees (including those located out of state) are required to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees before January 1, 2020.

The minimum count of "5" employees includes seasonal and temporary hires and also independent contractors.

The laws require 2 hours of sexual harassment prevention training to California supervisors (and to out-of-state supervisors of California employees), and 1 hour of training for nonsupervisory employees in California. Training must take place within 6 months of hire or promotion and every 2 years thereafter. To comply with the January 1, 2020 deadline, all employees must be trained during the 2019 calendar year. Note: The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) states that employees who were trained in 2018 or before will need to be retrained again in 2019.

Companies today realize they must take proactive measures to be sure employees are aware of, understand and abide by their Workplace Harassment Policies, the current State laws and the EEOC Sexual Harassment Guidelines. The need for workplace harassment prevention training is greater now than ever before. Inappropriate and offensive behavior affects personal well-being, morale, productivity, brand reputation, and exposes individuals and organizations to liability.
