On August 21, 2019, I presented a complimentary webinar called “NY Sexual Harassment Training Update”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, I’m happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.
In the webinar, I discuss:
- Brand New Requirements Effective Now!
- Review of Annual Training Process
- Elements of Training
- Meeting the October 9th Deadline
- Preparing for Your Next Training
Since last year, New York employers should have known they would have to train all employees on sexual harassment prevention by October 9, 2019. Many have already done so. But a large number still have not. This webinar reminds employers of that obligation. It also highlights brand new requirements in effect now for all future training sessions.
Why You Should Watch “NY Sexual Harassment Training Update”
All New York employers must provide annual sexual harassment training to all employees. The State has created model training materials, but employers are free to create their own training programs. The training must cover certain subjects, such as definition and examples of sexual harassment and a complaint procedure.
As of August 12, 2019, employers must now provide a copy of their sexual harassment policy and information presented in the training to all employees at each training session. And, some employees must receive these materials in their primary language.
This webinar will recap the sexual harassment training requirement and fill you in on the latest developments.
