Harassment Training and the AB 1825 Fallacy: Getting It Right in 2009

AB 1825, California’s law regarding the prevention of sexual harassment, requires organizations to provide training to all supervisors and managers in California every two years. For the vast majority of organizations, 2009 is a “training year”. As a result, they are faced with deciding how to fully comply with the very specific regulations implemented by the Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) without repeating the same training provided in 2007. What many employers fail to recognize, however, is that simply complying with AB 1825 can be disastrous from a legal perspective.
