Coverage

  • California Government Code §12950.1 requires employers with 5 or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training: 2 hours to supervisors and 1 hour to non-supervisory employees, every 2 years. This addendum applies on top of the base Anti-Harassment & Anti-Discrimination Policy.

  • New supervisors: within 6 months of assuming supervisory role. New non-supervisory employees: within 6 months of hire. Refresher training: every 2 years from initial training.

Required Topics

  • Information about FEHA-protected categories (including gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation under SB 396); definitions and examples of sexual harassment, abusive conduct, and remedies; bystander intervention; documentation and reporting; and consequences of harassment for the harasser and the company.

Documentation

  • Training records must include name of employee trained, date, type of training, training provider name and method, and a copy of training materials. Retain records for at least 2 years.
