Connecticut Extends Sexual Harassment Training Deadline to January 1, 2021
In June 2018, Connecticut passed the Time’s Up Act, which expanded the state’s sexual harassment training requirements. Under the new law, employers with three or more employees must provide two hours of sexual harassment training to all employees in Connecticut. Likewise, employers in Connecticut of any size must provide two hours of sexual harassment training to supervisors.
The new law required all current employees and supervisors in Connecticut to be trained no later than October 1, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) recently extended this deadline to January 1, 2021.
Previously, the CHRO allowed employers to request permission to extend the training deadline by 90 days if they were unable to complete the training “for reasons relating specifically to the COVID-19 pandemic.” With the extended January 1, 2021 deadline, the CHRO makes clear that employers no longer need to request an extension for training.
All new employees hired after October 1, 2019, must continue to be trained within six months of hire.
