Effective January 1, 2019, California employers with five or more employees are required to provide California sexual harassment training to all employees. Previously, only employers with 50 or more employees were required to provide harassment prevention training to their supervisors. With SB 1343, employers with five or more employees are required to provide training to all employees. Supervisory training must be at least 2 hours, and employee training must be at least one hour.
Vubiz Elearning has won awards for eight consecutive years for its California harassment prevention training and is excited to launch two new California e-learning courses compliant with the 2019 legislation.
Vubiz President Jim Rapino said in the era of the #MeToo movement, the California government has responded swiftly, and so has Vubiz. “Our brand new 2019 California harassment prevention elearning is engaging, mobile-friendly, modern, and guaranteed compliant.”
Vubiz has different versions for supervisors and employees, including the new bystander training. Vubiz also launched new harassment courses for New York and federal versions for supervisors and employees.
Governor Brown approved these new significant pieces of legislation: the expansion of liability for employers regarding non-employees to include all forms of harassment, the allowance of employers to inform references about former employees’ harassment, and new restrictions on limiting confidentiality in harassment settlements.
“We're excited to acknowledge our team's commitment to creating the best compliance online training available at the best competitive price,” said Rapino.
