According to the Department of Labor "All employers must adopt and provide a sexual harassment prevention policy to all employees by October 9, 2018."

These policies must be distributed in writing or electronically. Employers are also encouraged to have employees acknowledge receipt of the policy and to post a copy of the policy where employees can easily access it.

If your company already has a sexual harassment policy, make sure that it meets or exceeds the newly required minimum standards.

Lieb Compliance provides custom policies and trainings that meet all standards. Contact us today at info@liebcompliance.com or 646.216.8038

New York State recently passed legislation requiring all employers to conduct sexual harassment prevention training for their employees and establish a sexual harassment prevention policy. The law is effective October 9, 2018. Recent guidance issued by the Department of Labor clarified that all employers must train their employees between October 9, 2018 and January 1, 2019 and on an annual basis thereafter. In addition, all new employees must be trained within thirty (30) days of their start date.

"All Employers" required to conduct sexual harassment prevention training and establish sexual harassment prevention policies include both private and public employers. Therefore, state and local governments and agencies, towns, police departments, fire departments, school districts and all other public employers must comply with these new regulations.

We are on the countdown until the start of mandatory sexual harassment trainings in NYS.

Just 2 weeks until the October 9 start date. Remember, all employees must be trained  between October 9th, 2018 and January 1st, 2019.

With New York State enacting new protections for employees at a feverish pace, it is more imperative than ever to advise employers of preventative measures they can take to avoid potential violations of the many federal, state and local employment laws. These laws include but are not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York Labor Law, and the Suffolk County Human Rights Law. This article reviews several practices employers should implement to minimize potential exposure to costly and disruptive litigation.
