What Businesses Should Know About California Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

California is at the forefront of addressing sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The State wants to properly educate companies and employees about what constitutes sexual harassment in California. It recently enacted a new law, SB 1343, which expands sexual-harassment prevention training requirements and affects many more organizations.

How long should training last?

Supervisor training must last at least 2 hours and non-supervisory employees must be trained for at least 1 hour. We offer the training in English, Spanish and 100 other languages.

When must employees get trained?

Nonsupervisory employees and supervisory employees need to be trained within six months of hire. In addition, organizations must train individuals within six months of their promotion to supervisory positions. Furthermore, all employees must be trained once every two years. All organizations must be ready for the January 1st, 2024 California training deadline.

Who needs to take the training?

The State of California requires organizations with five or more employees to train their entire workforce. Importantly, the training requirement applies to temporary and seasonal employees, who must complete sexual harassment training within 30 calendar days or 100 hours, if they will work less than six months.
