The Connecticut 2-Hour Supervisor Sexual Harassment course is a 118-minute online course that fulfills the training mandate under Connecticut's Time's Up Act for supervisory employees at companies with three or more employees, and for supervisors at all other Connecticut businesses. It covers supervisor-specific liability, Connecticut harassment law, federal EEO protections, bystander intervention, and diversity management, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Connecticut requires all employers - regardless of size - to provide sexual harassment prevention training to supervisors. For companies with three or more employees, the Time's Up Act mandates two hours of training for every employee, but the supervisor obligation applies even to smaller employers. Newly promoted supervisors must complete training within six months of assuming their supervisory role, and supplemental training is required at least every ten years. The CHRO enforces these requirements through workplace inspections and may levy fines of up to $1,000 for noncompliance. Supervisors who lack training create significant legal exposure for their employers, particularly under Connecticut's expanded statute of limitations of 300 days for harassment claims.
This course prepares your supervisors and managers for their elevated legal responsibilities in preventing and responding to sexual harassment. The curriculum covers Connecticut-specific harassment laws tailored for supervisors, federal protections including age discrimination, and real-world case studies such as Faragher v. City of Boca Raton. Your management team will learn to keep employment decisions job-related, handle harassment complaints with proper documentation, and recognize the specific responsibilities supervisors carry under state law. The course includes interactive modules on bystander intervention, workplace bullying prevention, and managing diversity.
Connecticut's Time's Up Act requires employers with three or more employees to train all employees, and even smaller employers must train their supervisors. Under Connecticut law, a supervisor is any individual who has the authority to hire, promote, transfer, reward, suspend, direct, or discipline other employees, or effectively recommend any of these actions. Supervisors must receive training within six months of assuming a supervisory role. The CHRO can inspect workplaces to verify training compliance and examine records and policies. Violations of the posting, notice, and training requirements carry fines of up to $1,000. The Time's Up Act extended the statute of limitations for discrimination complaints to 300 days and authorized courts to impose punitive damages. Employers who take corrective action after a complaint may not change the complaining employee's conditions of employment without written consent. Employers who fail to train supervisors face difficulty raising an affirmative defense in harassment litigation, as courts evaluate whether reasonable steps were taken to prevent and correct harassment.
