What are Connecticut’s sexual harassment prevention training requirements?
Connecticut’s sexual harassment prevention training law requires employers with three or more employees to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to all employees within six months of hire. Employers with fewer than three employees are required to provide the two-hour sexual harassment training to supervisors only, within six months of hire or promotion to supervisory role.
What topics must Connecticut’s sexual harassment prevention training cover?
The Connecticut sexual harassment prevention training laws require, among other things, interactive training about the federal and state statutory provisions covering sexual harassment and the remedies available to people who experience harassment.
Who does this apply to?
Employers with three or more employees must provide both supervisory and non-supervisory employees with at least two hours of training within six months of hire. Employers with fewer than three employees must provide the training to supervisors.
What does this mean for you?
Due to the sweeping nature of the mandate, you will likely need to take some new steps to satisfy Connecticut’s harassment training requirements. As a first step, you will need to schedule and deliver sexual harassment training to your entire existing workforce and make a plan for new hires.
