New York Harassment Prevention Training Requirements
Employers must provide sexual harassment training to all employees annually.
New York Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
Under New York’s sexual harassment laws, employers in the state of New York must provide all employees with sexual harassment prevention training on an annual basis. All new employees must receive sexual harassment prevention training as soon as possible after their start date. In addition, all New York employers are required to adopt the state’s model policy on sexual harassment prevention or use a similar sexual harassment policy that meets or exceeds the standards of the state’s policy. New York City has enacted its own laws, with additional requirements. Under the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, NYC employers with 15 or more employees are required to provide annual sexual harassment training to all employees.
Traliant’s Preventing Workplace Harassment course covers the training requirements and topics mandated under New York State’s anti-sexual harassment legislation and New York City’s Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act.
The web-based, interactive training is available in three versions:
- Advanced: This 2-hour course should be used by California supervisors, supervisors in the City of Chicago (and supervisors outside of Chicago that supervise employees in Chicago), and all Connecticut employees, supervisors, and non-supervisors, the first time they train.
- Extended: This 1-hour course should be used by non-supervisory employees in California and the City of Chicago.
- Fundamentals: This 45-minute course should be used by both supervisors and non-supervisors in all other states.
