Required California Harassment Prevention Training - MASTCAHPT

Individual learners can take their self-paced course in English or Spanish. They can also take a 2019 course using most smartphones.

Compliance Alert: Effective January 1, 2019, a new law requires California employers with 5 or more employees (located anywhere) to provide not only two hours of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to California supervisors (and to any out-of-state supervisors of California employees), but also at least one hour of such training to all nonsupervisory employees in California. All must be trained in the 2019 calendar year, before January 1, 2020. The minimum count of "5" employees covers seasonal and temporary hires, including independent contractors.

Note: The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) takes the position that employees, including supervisors, who were trained in 2018 or before will need to be retrained again in 2019.

OVERVIEW

California employers with 5 or more employees are required by law to provide two hours of sexual harassment and abusive conduct prevention training to all supervisors and one hour of such training to nonsupervisory employees once every two years and within six months of hire or promotion. Part-time and temporary employees (including those hired through staffing agencies) plus independent contractors are part of the minimum employee count of 5.

Since harassment is a major source of litigation in California, CalChamber recommends that employers with fewer than 5 employees also educate and train every employee. Just ask any employer blindsided by a workplace harassment lawsuit. The financial costs are enormous, not to mention the potentially irreversible damage to a company's reputation, employee morale and bottom line.

CalChamber makes it easy to effectively train employees and meet your compliance obligations. Our interactive online courses are affordable, easy to manage, even easier to purchase through the CalChamber Store or by phone, and hassle-free to set up through our helpful customer support specialists.
