Sexual Harassment Training: California Anti-Harassment Training Regulations Win Final Approval

Companies With More Than 50 Employees Will be Required to Train Supervisors.

California officials have approved final regulations for the landmark sexual harassment training law and the biggest clarification: the law now applies to larger firms that hire contract workers. 

The final regulations were crafted by the Fair Employment and Housing Commission to clarify ambiguities in AB 1825, the sexual harassment training law passed nearly three years ago. The state Office of  Administrative Law signed off on the regulations on July 18; they go into effect on Aug. 17. 
AB 1825 was the Legislature's response to a steady rise in sexual harassment claims and lawsuits over the previous decade; it requires all firms with at least 50 employees to provide anti-sexual harassment training for supervisors. 

But left unclear in the law was whether the term "employees" includes contract workers (who file 1099 Forms) or workers located out of state, whether out of state supervisors also had to receive sexual harassment training and just what qualifications were required to be a trainer. 

A subsequent law clarified the supervisor issue, saying that only supervisors based in the state needed to receive sexual harassment training. And earlier this year, the Fair Employment and Housing Commission addressed the other issues. Besides including contract workers in the definition of employees, the agency said that the 50-employee total also must include out-of-state workers, though out-of-state workers do not need to receive sexual harassment training  

The agency also elaborated on the qualifications for trainers. Among those that can provide sexual harassment training are attorneys whose practice includes employment law. Also eligible: human resource professionals or "harassment prevention consultants" who have had experience providing sexual harassment training or responding to or investigating sexual harassment complaints.  Under AB 1825, each supervisor must receive two hours of sexual harassment training every two years, with new supervisors receiving their first sexual harassment training within six months of taking the post.
