Harassment Prevention Training

California Government Code 12950.1 et. seq., requires employers with five or more employees, to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour to all nonsupervisory employees, and once every two years thereafter. Training is required for all new employees and must be completed within six months of employment.

AB 1661 (Chapter 816, Statutes of 2016) requires local agency officials to receive two hours of harassment prevention training and education within the first six months of taking office and every two years thereafter if the agency provides any type of compensation, salary, or stipend to those officials.

To demonstrate compliance, provide copies of Harassment Prevention Training Certificates for all Trustees and Executives and a policy for all nonsupervisory employees to receive their mandated training.
