California Workplace Harassment Training
Sexual harassment in the workplace has become a serious area of concern. Now more than ever, it is critical to provide harassment prevention training to your employees. Not only is training your employees required by California employment law, but it is also best practice in preventing legal risks associated with sexual harassment.
The Law
On September 30, 2018, California enacted a series of laws that strengthen the state’s protections against workplace harassment. Effective January 1, 2019, these new laws:
- Require employers with five or more employees in the state to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees
- Expand and clarify employer liability for workplace harassment
Training Requirements
By January 1, 2021, every California employer with five or more employees must provide:
- Each supervisory with at least two hours of sexual harassment training
- Each nonsupervisory with at least one hours of sexual harassment training
