New York State Sexual Harassment Training

Last April, Governor Cuomo signed a new anti-harassment law containing provisions for private and public employers related to sexual harassment in the workplace. These provisions provided for protection from not only other employees, but also vendors, consultants, contractors and others providing services. Most importantly to employers, the new law requires all employers with 1 or more employees to comply with very defined sexual harassment policy and training requirements. Specific requirements include: 

• Implementing a sexual harassment policy that includes defined minimum standards by October 9, 2018;
• Establishing a sexual harassment prevention training plan by the October 9, 2018 deadline; and
• Developing a training program or using the New York State model training program. This training is required to be provided to all employees, be interactive, comprehensive, and completed by October 9, 2019.

 
Please join us on Tuesday, May 7 as we partner with Underberg & Kessler to present the mandatory training for our members and their employees. Our training offers insight and practical examples to help prevent liability and improve the efficient operation of your business.  Space is limited, so we encourage you to sign up early.
