Preventing Sexual Harassment for Employees – New York

Preventing Sexual Harassment for Employees – New York Training

Sexual harassment is a pervasive and persistent problem in our society and in our workplaces. It’s being talked about more than ever before as more people are coming forward and sharing their stories of being sexually harassed.  In the wake of the #MeToo movement and the resulting nationwide conversation about sexual harassment, the State of New York and the City of New York passed legislation requiring employers to step up and do more to prevent sexual harassment.

Who has to be trained and how often do employees have to be trained?

The NYC Act only covers employers with 15 or more employees working in New York City however, the training requirement under the NYS Law applies to all employers working in New York, regardless of employer size. The NYS Law requires all employees working in New York State, including supervisors and managerial employees to be trained. Each covered employee must be trained annually. The New York City Act makes training mandatory for all employees employed within New York City for more than 80 hours in a calendar year, as well as temporary employees who are engaged for more than 90 days.
