CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL 1825
California Assembly Bill 1825 (AB 1825) requires California employers with 50 or more employees to provide all personnel who have "supervisory authority" a minimum of two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years. Training must be interactive in nature, and include strategies for prevention and remedies for victims of harassment.
Additional Points About CAL AB 1825:
- The training need not be conducted in two consecutive hours.
- It must be administered by persons qualified by education and experience to cover the required subject matter and to present it in an interactive fashion, where there is an open forum for discussion, questions and answers.
- The training should include working examples that identify problem behavior, and how to take steps to prevent harassment and respond to complaints.
- AB 1825 provides a basis for punitive damages liability, if Plaintiff successfully argues that employers' failure to comply with the law demonstrates their "reckless disregard" for the Fair Employment and Housing Act.
