The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) issued Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) discussing the new sexual harassment prevention training requirements that will have an impact on virtually every business in the state and all those businesses’ employees and supervisors.
In the FAQs, the DFEH clarified that the law requires that all employees be trained during calendar year 2019. This means that employees, including supervisors, who were trained in 2018 or before will need to be retrained again in 2019.
Current law requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide supervisors with 2 hours of sexual harassment prevention training.
