Sexual Harassment Awareness & Prevention Training
Training
Employer Compliance with Public Act 92-85:
Newly hired, promoted, or arrived supervisors must receive
sexual harassment awareness and prevention training within 6 months of new status.
Compliance
Assistance: The Business Council of Fairfield County offers training to newly
hired and
recently promoted supervisors, three
times a year. The training fulfills the requirements
set forth by the Connecticut Commission on Human
Rights and Opportunities. All sessions are taught by
volunteer attorneys from Business Council member law firms. Employers receive written certification of the employee’s
completion of required training.
Background:
In May, 1992, Governor Lowell C. Weicker, Jr. signed
into law Public Act 92-85, requiring
employers with more than 50 employees to provide to all
supervisory employees at least two hours of training and education on the state and federal laws
prohibiting sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims. Companies were required to provide
this training by October 1, 1993, and must
continuously train new and newly arrived supervisors.
