California's Sexual Harassment Training Requirement Not Only For Those in California
By now most of us know that the State of California requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide mandatory sexual harassment training to supervisors (California Code A.B. 1825). I previously discussed this training requirement here. Now there is discussion to confirm that the training requirement should extend to employees beyond California's borders. That is, to be required of managers located out of the state of California who supervise those working in the state. These proposed modifications to the regulations of California's Sexual Harassment Training Requirement for supervisors are open to public comment.
As we conduct training for our clients throughout the country, we often advise that this requirement is merely a minimum. An effective prevention program should be ongoing, thorough and should not matter where employees are working.
