TOMORROW OCTOBER 9 DEADLINE - NEW YORK SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION RULES

By October 9, 2019, all employers must conduct interactive sexual harassment prevention training with all current employees. New employees should be trained as quickly as possible. Sexual harassment prevention training MUST be completed at least once per year.

Employers may choose to use model training developed by the NY Department of Labor; however, to satisfy the “interactive” requirement, employers must engage employees with questions and must answer questions from participants.  The Department of Labor provides free resources here: https://www.labor.ny.gov/immigrants/sexual-harassment-prevention.shtm
