NYS mandates that every employer to provide each employee with annual sexual harassment prevention training, as required by Labor Law §201-g, and in NYC by Local Law §96. Non-compliance not only risks severe statutory penalties and potential misdemeanor charges by the government, but also exposes your organization to substantial financial judgments in cases of workplace discrimination lawsuits.
