Final AB 1825 Sexual Harassment Training Regulations

The California Fair Employment and Housing Commission issued its final AB 1825 regulations. They can be accessed here. They will now be reviewed by the Office of Administrative Law. If they are approved, the will be submitted to the Secretary of State and become effective 30 days later. The FEHC estimates they will be effective around February 1, 2007. The final regulations are essentially the same as the last version submitted for comments in October.
Most employers that completed their initial training in 2005 will be training supervisors again in 2007. So, employers should ensure their training programs comply with the new regulations.
