DESCRIPTION

Sexual Harassment Prevention: It’s the Law

State and federal legislation outlaws sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sexual harassment prevention requires knowledgeable employees and well-trained supervisors. Supervisors need to know the requirements of the law, how to recognize situations that can create a hostile environment, and how to take action should an incident or complaint arise. Failure to train or take action can be costly to municipalities. Penalties for sexual harassment include:

Cease And Desist Orders
Back Pay
Hiring, Promotion Or Reinstatement
Compensatory Damages

It is the employer’s responsibility to maintain an environment that is free from harassing behavior. Make sure all your supervisors and staff are adequately trained to meet this requirement. Prevent the cost, morale problems, and embarrassment sexual harassment claims can cause. Register for this lowcost training program today!

THE CONNECTICUT FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES ACT (Section 46a-60(a)(8) of the Connecticut General Statutes) requires employers of 50 or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training for all supervisory new hires and promotions within six (6) months of start date. Attending this workshop meets the training requirements of Connecticut law.
