New York City has enacted new sexual harassment training, poster, and notice requirements for employers. Starting April 1, 2019, employers with 15 or more employees will be required to annually conduct anti-sexual harassment interactive training for all employees, including supervisors and managers. In addition, starting September 6, 2018, all employers will be required to:
- Post an anti-sexual harassment rights and responsibilities poster in employee breakrooms or other common areas where employees gather; and
- Distribute an information sheet on sexual harassment to employees at the time of hire and in the employee handbook.
The city is expected to release a model poster and information sheet soon.
