Sexual Harassment Training for All Employees

Since October 9, 2018, all workers must get training on sexual harassment prevention. This includes part-time workers. Training must happen every year.

New York State has strong rules. These rules are stronger than New York City's. Employers in the City must keep a list of who attends each training.

The training must be interactive. It must have a live trainer. It can also have a web component. Workers must be able to ask questions and give feedback.

The training must cover:

• Sexual harassment laws in the City, State and the United States.
• Workers' rights to complain and how their claims will be handled. This includes City, State and federal complaint steps.
• Employers' and supervisors' duties.
• Anti-retaliation laws.
• Bystander intervention info (in the City).

There are no exceptions. If workers mostly speak other languages, training should be in those languages if possible.
