New York City Issues Final Guidance On Sexual Harassment Training Requirements

As we previously reported, New York City has enacted the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, which is a package of bills aimed at addressing and preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. Effective April 1, 2019, all New York City employers with 15 or more employees (including interns) are required to conduct annual anti-sexual harassment training for all employees, including supervisory and managerial employees, as well as part-time employees, seasonal employees and independent contractors (who perform work in furtherance of the business) who work more than 80 hours in a calendar year and for at least 90 days.

The City has now issued an online training module and updated FAQs on the new law. More information about the law can also be found on the City's website, available here, including training resources and references, as well as copies of the required notices and factsheet.
