On August 15, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 778, which updates the state’s sexual harassment training requirements. This law is an amendment to SB 1343.
With this new law, employers with five or more employees are required to provide the following:
SB 778 permits employers who have provided training to an employee in 2019 to offer a “refresher” training to that employee two years thereafter (rather than the January 2021 deadline). This will avoid forcing employers who have already provided compliant training from having to do so twice in a single two-year period.
However, this would not be the case for employers who provided training in 2018. Employers with five or more employees who provided training in 2018 must provide sexual harassment prevention training and education by January 1, 2021, and thereafter once every 2 years.
Western Growers offers its members supervisory training through both public and private sessions. Supervisors can participate in one of our upcoming Public Sessions:
