Still More Amendments to AB 1825 Regulations

On October 2, the Fair Employment and Housing Commission further revised the proposed harassment training regulations. In this round of revisions, the Commission primarily addressed "duplicate" training - e.g., when a supervisor is hired from another company and had AB 1825-compliant training at the former employer within two years. In such cases, the supervisor must receive, read, and acknowledge having read the new employer's anti-harassment policy. That supervisor must be trained again within two years of the prior training. The Commission also continues to wrestle with the interval between training, attempting to balance administrative convenience with the statutory mandate of training every two years.
