Beginning in October 2018, all New York State employers, regardless of size, must adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy. Aside from implementing the policy, employers must conduct training or use a similar policy that meet or exceeds the law’s minimum standards.
All employees must complete the training by October 9, 2019. Employers are required to ensure that all employees receive training on an annual basis.
