New York Sexual Harassment Training
Employers must provide sexual harassment training to all employees annually.
New York Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
The New York Edition of Traliant’s industry-leading Preventing Discrimination and Harassment training ensures that employers can meet the sexual harassment training requirements set by the New York State Department of Labor, in consultation with the New York State Division of Human Rights.
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. While the laws apply to all NY State employers, New York City enacted its own laws, with additional requirements. Under the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, the law requires NYC employers with 15 or more employees to provide annual sexual harassment training to all employees.
