Sexual Harassment Prevention in New York is a 33-minute online course that fulfills the annual interactive training mandate under New York State Human Rights Law Section 201-g for employees at all New York employers, regardless of company size. It covers state and federal harassment law, complaint procedures, bystander intervention, and retaliation protections, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
New York State requires every employer - regardless of size - to provide annual interactive sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. This requirement, effective since October 2018 under NYSHRL Section 201-g, applies to full-time, part-time, seasonal, temporary, and exempt employees, as well as interns and domestic workers. New York City employers with 15 or more employees face additional requirements under the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, including the obligation to maintain training records for at least three years. The EEOC received over 88,500 discrimination charges nationally in FY 2024, and New York consistently ranks among the top states for sexual harassment charge filings.
This course trains your employees on sexual harassment law as it applies under both New York State and New York City law. The curriculum covers the New York Civil Rights Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, and EEOC guidelines, with content developed in accordance with guidance from the Department of Labor and the Division of Human Rights. Your employees learn to recognize conduct constituting unlawful harassment, understand the remedies available to them, and know the procedures for filing complaints through internal and external channels. The course addresses supervisor responsibilities, bystander intervention, and the legal consequences of retaliation.
New York State Labor Law Section 201-g requires every employer in the state to provide annual interactive sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. There is no size threshold - the mandate applies to employers of one or more employees. Training must be interactive, meaning employees must have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in scenarios or exercises. New York City employers with 15 or more employees (including independent contractors) face additional requirements under the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, including maintaining training records for at least three years and providing training within 90 days of the employee's start date for employees who work more than 80 hours per calendar year. The NYSHRL and NYCHRL provide some of the broadest harassment protections in the country, and New York courts have consistently interpreted these laws in favor of employees. Employers who fail to provide annual training face difficulty establishing an affirmative defense in harassment litigation, as courts will evaluate whether the employer took reasonable preventive measures.
