Sexual Harassment Policies & Training Are Essential For All Businesses

Whether you are the owner of a small or large business, you must have a clear and comprehensive sexual harassment policy in place. This is a crucial step in protecting your business and your employees.

New York-Compliant Policies must:

  • Make clear that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and that any employee engaged in sexual harassment will face sanctions, including managerial personnel that knowingly allow sexual harassment to continue.
  • Provide examples of conduct that will be deemed sexual harassment.
  • Provide information on federal, state, and local laws concerning sexual harassment, and addressing remedies available to sexual harassment victims—including available forums for adjudicating sexual harassment complaints.
  • Provide a complaint form, and outline company procedures for handling sexual harassment complaints in a timely and confidential manner.
  • State that it is illegal to retaliate—in any way—against an employee who files a sexual harassment complaint, testifies or assists in an investigation.

Sexual Harassment Training:

As of October 9, 2019, all employers must conduct interactive sexual harassment prevention training with all current employees.

  • New employees should be trained as quickly as possible.
  • Sexual harassment prevention training MUST be completed at least once per year.
  • All records pertaining to company sexual harassment training must be maintained in the ordinary course of business.
