Sexual Harassment Prevention for Supervisors
Effective January 1st of this year, California enacted SB 1343, which expanded the training requirements with respect to sexual harassment to businesses with as few as five employees, including temporary and seasonal workers. Pursuant to California law, Government Code Section 12950 states that “every employer shall act to ensure a workplace free of sexual harassment” by implementing certain specified minimum requirements. Those requirements include that covered employers provide sexual harassment training as required by Section 12950.1.
That new statute requires that “By January 1, 2020, an employer having five or more employees shall provide at least two hours of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all nonsupervisory employees in California within six months of their assumption of a position.” The trainings offered by Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP are designed to fulfill these requirements.
Sexual harassment complaints aren’t confined to employment relationships. It can also be a serious on-site problem with residents.
