California Sexual Harassment Training 


What Are the California Sexual Harassment Training Requirements?

Organizations employing 5 or more employees, including temporary and seasonal workers, are required to provide sexual harassment training to all employees and managers.

The Laws

California law (Government Code 129501.1) requires all employers of 5 or more employees to provide 1 hour of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to non-supervisory employees and 2 hours of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to supervisors and managers.

  • SB 1343 requires sexual harassment prevention training for all employees. It supersedes AB 1825 which only applied to organizations with 50 or more employees and only required sexual harassment training for managers.
  • SB 396 added gender identity, gender expression, LGBT and sexual orientation awareness as a mandatory topic and requires the training to include practical examples of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
  • Amendment AB 2053 added abusive conduct as a mandatory training topic.

Employee Requirement

  • 1 hour of training, every 2 years
  • Training may be completed in segments as long as the total training time requirement is met within the two-year period
  • Temporary and seasonal employees must be trained within 30 days of hire or within 100 hours worked, whichever comes first

Manager Requirement

  • Training may be completed in segments as long as the total training time requirement is met within the two-year period
