Sexual Harassment Training for all Employees by 2021

Who doesn’t like a good extension!?!

SB 778 was signed into effect in August-2019 by Governor Gavin Newsom which extends the deadline for Employers to provide sexual harassment training to all supervisory & non supervisory employees to January 2021 (formerly Jan 2020.)

Under SB 1343 employers with five or more employees must provide effective, interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment. Two hours of training must be provided to all supervisory employees and one hour must be provided to all non-supervisory employees. Training must be provided to employees within six months of being hired on or assuming a supervisory role and then once every two years thereafter.

Caution! Several parameters to be covered in order for training to be compliant so be sure to do your homework prior to implementing your training program.
