Connecticut Law Now Requires Sexual Harassment Training for All Employees
On June 18, 2019, Connecticut enacted a new state law expanding its sexual harassment training requirements. Beginning October 1, 2019, employers must provide two hours of sexual harassment training to all employees, not just supervisors. New employees hired after October 1, 2019 must be trained within six months of hire. All current employees must be trained by October 1, 2020. This article details employers’ posting and training obligations under the new law.
Posting and Email Requirements for Employers with Three or More Employees
Posting.
Connecticut employers with three or more employees must post in a “prominent and accessible location” information concerning the illegality of sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment.
Email.
Connecticut employers with three or more employees must also provide, not later than three months after the employee’s start date, a copy of the information concerning the illegality of sexual harassment and remedies available to victims of sexual harassment to each employee by email. The subject line of the email should be, “Sexual Harassment Policy,” or something similar. Employers must email this information to the employee assuming that either (i) the employer has provided the employee an email account or (ii) the employee has provided the employer with his or her personal email address. If the employer has not provided all employees an email account, the employer must post the information concerning the illegality of sexual harassment and remedies available to victims of sexual harassment on the employer’s Internet web site, if the employer has one.
