Official summary
Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.
Existing law requires a specified employer with 5 or more employees to, by January 1, 2021, provide at least 2 hours of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all nonsupervisory employees in California and, after that date, once every 2 years. Existing law requires that a method be provided for employees who have completed the training to save electronically and print a certificate of completion.
Existing law requires that an employee who has received training in compliance with these provisions within the prior 2 years either from a current or a prior employer be given, and be required to read and acknowledge receipt of, the employer’s antiharassment policy within 6 months of assuming the employee’s new position and requires that the employee then be put on a 2-year tracking schedule based on the employee’s last training. Existing law places the burden of establishing that the prior training was legally compliant with these provisions upon the employer.
This bill would authorize an employer to satisfy the training requirements by demonstrating that the employee possesses a certificate of completion within the past 2 years.
