—Mandatory training requirement for organizations employing more than 50 people in California goes into effect today—

SACRAMENTO, California, August 17, 2007: The Fair Employment and Housing Commission’s regulations interpreting California’s mandatory sexual harassment prevention training law become effective today. That law requires any organization that employs 50 or more employees to provide two hours of sexual harassment prevention training to all California-based managers and supervisors once every two years.

David Bowman, of counsel and director of Morgan Lewis Resources Workforce Training, and his colleague, Karen Peteros, of counsel and director of Morgan Lewis Resources’ Center for California Employment Counseling, are available to speak with reporters regarding the new regulations and their implications for companies doing business in California.

In addition, Morgan Lewis will hold two webcast discussions for employers on September 5 and 26 that will address:

  • Who must and should be trained
  • How to track compliance with the training law
  • The permissible methods of delivering the required training
  • Who is qualified to deliver the required training
