Workplace Harassment Prevention Training in Delaware | Clear Law Institute

Delaware Sexual Harassment Training Now Required by Law

Delaware has become the fifth state to pass a state statute requiring sexual harassment training, joining California, Connecticut, Maine, and New York. On August 29, 2018, Delaware Governor John Carney signed into law HB 360, which amends the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA). Among other things, the law, which becomes effective on January 1, 2019, requires certain employers to provide sexual harassment training to all employees every two years.

Who is protected by the new sexual harassment law?

The Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act applies to employers with four or more employees in the state. The new law expands the definition of “employees” who are protected from sexual harassment to include state employees, unpaid interns, applicants, joint employees, and apprentices. Delaware law requires employers with 50 or more employees in Delaware to provide interactive sexual harassment training for all employees. In counting the number of “employees” to meet the 50-employee requirement, employers do not need to count applicants, independent contractors, or those who are employed less than six months continuously.

California Extends the Deadline to File Workplace Harassment, Discrimination, or Retaliation Claims to Three Years

California has extended the deadline for employees to file an allegation of unlawful workplace harassment, discrimination, or retaliation with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) to three years. 

California Assembly Bill 9 (AB 9) triples the previous one-year deadline.  As a result, an employee who suffers sexual harassment, for example, may wait up to three years before filing a claim.

Given this change in law, employers should ensure that they are providing sexual harassment training in California, as required by state laws such as SB 1343 and AB 1825.  Also, because of the new three year deadline to file claims, employers should keep records of employee completion of California sexual harassment training for at least three years.  (Learn more about the detailed requirements for California sexual harassment training.)

Furthermore, the new law points to the importance of employers promptly and effectively investigating sexual harassment and other workplace harassment and discrimination claims. Employers must effectively train their internal investigators to investigate these claims and write an investigative report that will withstand scrutiny in subsequent litigation. Learn more about Clear Law Institute’s investigations training, which has been used by organizations such as the EEOC, Google, Honda, and the World Bank.
