Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
New York State Law requires that employers of one or more employees must conduct sexual harassment prevention training for all employees each year. New York City Law also has training requirements for employers. To learn about NYC requirements, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.
The Commission has developed an online training that will satisfy both the New York State and New York City sexual harassment prevention training requirements.
At the bottom of this page, you will find links to the online training in multiple languages.
