Assembly Bill 1825 now requires that California employers with 50 or more employees (including temporary service employees and/or independent contractors) must provide 2 hours of sexual harassment training every 2 years for its supervisors on the prevention and correction of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and remedies available.
AB1825 states that providing the required sexual harassment training is not a defense to any potential sexual harassment claim.
But any lack of training will probably be construed as a “reckless disregard” for the law.
