On June 18, 2019, Connecticut enacted a new state law, the Time’s Up Act, expanding sexual harassment training requirements for employers with employees working in Connecticut. Employers must now provide two hours of sexual harassment training to all employees in Connecticut, not just supervisors. New employees must be trained within six months of hire.
All employers of any size must provide sexual harassment training to their supervisors in Connecticut. Employers that have three or more employees must provide training to all employees in Connecticut. (The previous Connecticut law only applied to employers who had 50 or more employees and only required training for supervisors.)
Guidance issued by the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (“CHRO”) makes clear that the law applies even to employers that are headquartered out of state. For example, if a company headquartered in Minnesota has ten employees in Minnesota and one in Connecticut, the employer must ensure that the one employee in Connecticut receives two hours of sexual harassment training compliant with the Connecticut law.
AIA Connecticut is offering two virtual options - Preventing Discrimination & Harassment, CA/CT Manager Edition or CT Employee Edition. This video course is comprised of bite-sized episodes presented in a modern, news-style format. Episodes feature interactive videos that challenge employees to decide on the best approach to difficult, realistic work situations. Employees learn about sexual harassment outside the workplace, consensual relationships, and how to identify a “hostile work environment” and “quid pro quo,” as defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Course takers will have 2 weeks to complete the course and receive a certificate. The course has also been approved for 2LUs. Members may sign up their employees at the member rate.
Members: $30/employee version | $35/manager version
Non-Member pricing: $50/employee version | $60/manager version
