Sexual Harassment Prevention in Delaware is a 22-minute online course that fulfills the interactive training requirement under the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA), as amended by HB 360, for employers with 50 or more employees in Delaware. It covers state and federal harassment law, complaint investigation procedures, and employer accountability, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Delaware's HB 360, signed into law in August 2018 and effective January 1, 2019, amended the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act to require employers with 50 or more employees to provide interactive sexual harassment prevention training to all employees every two years. The law expanded the definition of protected employees to include state employees, unpaid interns, applicants, joint employees, and apprentices. New employees must be trained within one year of their start date. The Delaware Department of Labor distributes a required information sheet that employers must provide to all employees, and employers who fail to train may face increased liability in harassment litigation.
This course trains your employees on sexual harassment law as it applies specifically in Delaware, with coverage of both the DDEA and Title VII. The curriculum addresses the two forms of sexual harassment - quid pro quo and hostile work environment - with situational examples specific to Delaware workplaces. Your employees learn when and how complaints are investigated, how managers and supervisors are held accountable, the consequences of failing to take corrective action, and their rights under both state and federal law. The course uses interactive elements to meet Delaware's requirement that training include real-time participation by employees.
Delaware's HB 360, effective January 1, 2019, amended the DDEA to specifically address sexual harassment and create training requirements for covered employers. The law requires employers with 50 or more employees in Delaware to provide interactive sexual harassment prevention training to all employees every two years. New hires must be trained within one year of their start date, and newly promoted supervisors must receive additional supervisor-specific training within one year. When calculating the 50-employee threshold, employers do not count applicants, independent contractors, or employees who have been employed for less than six continuous months. The DDEA works in conjunction with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and employees may file complaints with the Delaware Department of Labor or the EEOC. HB 360 also established an affirmative defense for employers who can demonstrate they exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct harassment, making documented training a key component of an employer's legal protection.
