Under A.B. 1825, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2006, employers with 50 or more employees must provide sexual harassment prevention training every two years to supervisory employees. It has been unclear, however, whether the law covers employees and supervisors located outside California.
Join us this fall in San Francisco for the California Employment Law Update conference, a 3-day event that will teach you everything you need to know about new laws and regulations, and your compliance obligations, for the year ahead—it’s one-stop shopping at its best.
Now, Governor Schwarzenegger has signed legislation, A.B. 2095, specifying that employers are required to train only those supervisors located in California. In addition, the measure confirms that for purposes of determining whether an employer meets the 50-employee threshold for coverage, all employees will be counted–whether they are in California or elsewhere.
