LYNBERG AND WATKINS PROVIDES MANDATORY AB 1825 SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING
Assembly Bill 1825 (Reyes)

In response to AB 1825, we are now scheduling seminars on sexual harassment prevention. AB 1825 adds Government Code Section 12950.1, which requires that by January 1, 2006 an employer with 50 or more employees must provide at least two hours of “classroom or other interactive sexual harassment training and education” for all its supervisory employees. After January 1, 2006, each covered employer must provide this sexual harassment training and education to its supervisory employees every two years.

The training and education must include:

  1. Information and practical guidance regarding federal and state statutory provisions on: a) the prohibition against sexual harassment; b) the prevention and correction of sexual harassment; and c) the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment in employment.
  2. Practical examples aimed at instructing supervisors in harassment, discrimination, and retaliation prevention; and
  3. Presentations by trainers and educators with knowledge and expertise in these areas.
