Employment law firm LightGabler is offering state-mandated sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention seminars on Wednesday, March 4, for supervisors and for non-supervisor employees. Topics include prevention of harassment, discrimination, retaliation and abusive conduct (bullying) in the workplace.
By January 1, 2021, companies with five or more employees must provide their supervisors and their non-supervisory employees with interactive sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training. Training is to be repeated every two years. Yearly training is required for agricultural employees.
New employees must be trained within six months of hire, and new supervisors within six months of starting a supervisory position (temporary staffing agencies have shorter compliance windows). For supervisors, training must be at least two hours in length, and one hour for non-supervisory employees.
Training will be presented by LightGabler employment law attorney Jonathan Fraser Light. The training for both supervisors and non-supervisors will be from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. followed by an additional hour for supervisory personnel. The cost is $25 per person for the one-hour non-supervisor course and $50 for the supervisor training. The training will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel (333 Madonna Rd., San Luis Obispo).
Seating is limited. Reservations can be made by going to http://www.lightgablerlaw.com and clicking “Training.” For questions, call 805-248-7089.
