Connecticut's Sexual Harassment Law
(Section 46a-60)

Connecticut Human Rights and Opportunities Act (CHROA) requires that Connecticut employers with 50 or more employees provide a minimum of two hours of harassment training to all supervisory employees within six months of assuming a supervisory position.

Supervisory employees include "any individual who has the authority, by using her or his independent judgment, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward or discipline other employees, or responsibility to direct them, or to adjust their grievances or effectively to recommend such actions."

Connecticut employers must also periodically provide additional training on other forms of workplace harassment and discrimination to all employees not included in this law. 

Requirements:

• Training must be a minimum of 2 hours.
• All personnel who are supervisory, managerial employees, and partners, in the company's employ for a minimum of thirteen weeks during the training year must be trained, even if the employer employs fewer than 50 people in Connecticut.
• Training year means the period of time from October first in any calendar year through September thirtieth in the following calendar year.
• Persons hired or promoted into supervisory positions must receive training within six months of their hire or promotion.
• Employers must document the training.
