California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 778 on August 30, 2019, amending Government Code Section 12950.1. The Governor's signature extends the deadline for California employers to comply with sexual harassment training requirements for non-supervisory employees from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021.
As you may recall, fellow Associate Kerri N. Polizzi published an article titled "Getting a Jump Start on Compliance with California's Growing Sexual Harassment Training Mandate" explaining SB 1343's new requirements for employers with five (5) or more employee to provide at least two (2) hours of sexual harassment, abusive conduct, and gender harassment training to all supervisory employees, and one (1) hour of such training to all non-supervisory employees.
