Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
California law requires all employers of 5 or more employees to provide 1 hour of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to nonsupervisory employees and 2 hours of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to supervisors and managers once every two years.
The law requires employers to provide the training and education by January 1, 2021 (not January 1, 2020), and thereafter once every 2 years. It requires that new nonsupervisory employees be provided sexual harassment training within 6 months of hire and new supervisory employees be provided sexual harassment training within 6 months of the assumption of a supervisory position.Get the free training (members only content)
