Law

Sexual harassment is not tolerated in the workplace. California bill AB 1825 mandates that all employers, with 50 or more employees, provide two hours of high-quality training to their supervisors and managers. The training must pertain to the prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace.
Considerations
-
Training is required every two years. If you employ 50 or more employees and fail to provide training, then harassment lawsuits may affect you. A qualified trainer can provide the required training, as well as satisfy the legal obligation mandated by the state. California requires proof of training every two years, so you should document all training sessions.
