Comply with California Sexual Harassment Laws
California enacted SB 1343 in 2019. This requires private employers of 5 or more employees to provide at least one hour of harassment prevention training to all non-supervisory workers by the new year (2020). After this deadline, the training must be renewed every 2 years. Similar mandates were also put in place to require supervisory personnel to complete at least 2 hours of training biennially. TargetSolutions offers two training courses that, paired with your organization’s sexual harassment prevention policies, help meet these requirements. Both courses cover harassment as a whole, bullying, stereotyping, gender discrimination and the reporting process. Training courses in compliance with California Harassment Laws are listed below:- Anti-Harassment Training for All Employees – California (SB1343)
- Anti-Harassment Training for Supervisors and Managers – California (SB1343/AB1825)
Preventing Bullying and Workplace Discrimination
TargetSolutions’ courses, Workplace Bullying and Workplace Diversity, cover multiple national and state regulations related to harassment and discrimination. Workplace Bullying defines the different forms of bullying, presents case studies and discusses reasons to confront bullying in the workplace. Workplace Diversity offers lessons in how to create a positive work atmosphere, anti-discrimination laws and the process of handling a discrimination charge. Important federal and state laws addressed in these courses include:- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin
- The Americans with Disabilities Act – protects those with physical and mental disabilities from unfair harassment and discrimination based on their disabilities
- The Age Discrimination Act – protects against age-related discrimination and harassment against workers over 40 years old
- The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) – is a California law that governs many forms of discrimination and bullying faced by employees, unpaid interns, job applicants, and some independent contractors
- The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – was established by Title VII and prohibits employee discrimination due to color, religion, sex, national origin, pregnancy or genetic info
