The California 1-Hour Sexual Harassment Course for Non-Supervisory Employees is a 70-minute online course that fulfills the SB1343 training mandate for non-supervisory personnel employed by California companies with five or more employees. It covers sexual harassment prevention, abusive conduct under AB2053, LGBT protections under SB396, bystander intervention, and retaliation laws, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
California law requires every employer with five or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training on a recurring two-year cycle. SB1343, which took effect January 1, 2020, expanded what was previously a supervisor-only mandate under AB1825 to include all non-supervisory employees. The California Civil Rights Department (formerly DFEH) enforces these requirements and expects employers to maintain training records for at least two years. Employers who fail to train face increased liability exposure in harassment claims, as courts and the CRD consider training compliance when evaluating whether an employer exercised reasonable care to prevent harassment.
This course prepares your non-supervisory employees to recognize, report, and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace as defined under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII. The curriculum addresses all eight content areas required by California regulation, including harassment of protected groups, federal and state retaliation laws, bystander intervention strategies, abusive conduct under AB2053, and LGBT workplace protections under SB396. Your employees complete interactive scenarios and knowledge checks throughout the course, meeting the state's interactivity requirement.
California's sexual harassment training mandate operates through multiple overlapping statutes. AB1825 (effective 2006) originally required employers with 50 or more employees to provide two hours of training to supervisors every two years. SB1343 (effective January 1, 2020) expanded coverage to all employers with five or more employees and added a one-hour training requirement for non-supervisory employees. AB2053 (effective 2015) added abusive conduct training as a mandatory component, and SB396 (effective 2018) requires coverage of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation protections. The California Civil Rights Department enforces these requirements and may investigate employers for noncompliance. While no specific fine amount is attached to a training failure alone, employers who lack compliant training programs face substantially increased exposure in harassment litigation - courts evaluate training records when determining whether an employer exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct harassment. Employers must retain training records for a minimum of two years.
