We’re a small office—14 employees. How often do we have to do sexual harassment training?
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.
A.B. 1825, which requires supervisory employees to receive sexual harassment training every two years, applies to employers with 50 or more employees in California and elsewhere, including independent contractors. So, although you have only 14 employees in your office, if you have employees/contractors in other offices, your company might well be covered by the new training requirement, even at your smaller office(s).
On the other hand, if your company is not covered by A.B. 1825, there is no mandatory timeframe or frequency for conducting harassment training. Nevertheless, annual training is a smart business practice as it can go a long way toward preventing sexual harassment claims. — CELA Editors
