Effective October 9, 2018, New York employers must provide an interactive forum to satisfy the new Sexual Harassment Training Law requiring yearly training to prevent sexual harassment. New York employers will likely be able to choose between in-person and computer-based training, as long as it is interactive.
NYS TRAINING MUST BE COMPLETED BY
OCTOBER 9, 2019, AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER.
The Training Must Be Interactive
- An explanation of sexual harassment and specific examples of inappropriate conduct
- Detailed information concerning federal, state and local laws and the remedies available to victims of harassment
- An explanation of employees’ external rights of redress and the available administrative and judicial forums for bringing complaints
- Recommend that new hires are trained as soon as possible.
Prevention Policy
In addition to providing training, New York employers must adopt a written sexual-harassment prevention policy and distribute it to employees.
The policy must include:
- A statement prohibiting sexual harassment and providing examples of what constitutes sexual harassment
- Information about federal and state sexual harassment laws and the remedies that are available to victims—and a statement that there may be additional local laws on the matter
- A standard complaint form
- Procedures for a timely and confidential investigation of complaints that ensures due process for all parties
- An explanation of employees’ external rights of redress and the available administrative and judicial forums for bringing complaints
- A statement that sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct and that sanctions will be enforced against those who engage in sexual harassment and against supervisors who knowingly allow such behavior to continue
- A statement that it is unlawful to retaliate against employees who report sexual harassment or who testify or assist in related proceedings
