What your state requires of ABA employers
Sexual harassment prevention is an employer responsibility. These summaries cover selected state and local training rules; they are not a complete list of every duty or jurisdiction. Coverage depends on where employees work, their roles and the applicable headcount rules.

Online e-learning must give employees a way to contact a qualified trainer who can answer questions within two business days. California Civil Rights Department requirements.
