California law requires employers with five or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. Mandatory training must take place within six months of hire or promotion and again every two years. This includes: California supervisors (two hours) and nonsupervisory employees (one hour), including California-based remote workers Newly hired or promoted employees (within six months) Seasonal and temporary employees hired directly to work for less than six months — within 30 calendar days after their hire date or within 100 hours worked, whichever occurs first. As a best practice, employers should also train out-of-state supervisors and employees who interact with California employees. Important note regarding California’s training threshold of five or more employees: When counting employees to determine if you’re required to provide harassment prevention training, be sure to count staff located outside of California, part-time and temporary direct hires, independent contractors, as well as unpaid interns and volunteers. Harassment prevention training courses are intended for individual learners only. Taking California individual-learner courses in a group setting will not satisfy state requirements. CalChamber helps you recognize the fine lines of harassment in the workplace No one in the workplace should be uncomfortable, afraid or unwelcome by someone else. What was said, how it was said, or when or where it was said, doesn’t change a person’s experience. Engaging Movie-Quality Videos and Expert Commentary Contemporary, real-life workplace situations include not-so-obvious harassing behaviors, such as a seemingly innocent hug or a comment on a person's gender identity. Movie-quality videos draw you in to each conversation as if you're in the same room. Compelling scenes get you thinking, rethinking and guessing how it all plays out. Videos wrap with commentary by qualified employer trainers who assess each situation and offer key takeaways. Learners test their knowledge as they work through scenarios and interactive quizzes. Bystander intervention empowers employees to address inappropriate behavior before it becomes unlawful harassment.

Since it was enacted in 2004, the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) has allowed individuals to file lawsuits seeking Labor Code violation penalties for not only themselves, but also all other aggrieved employees. This has resulted in a substantial increase in litigation that costs businesses of all sizes billions of dollars while bringing little benefit to workers. On July 1, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law two PAGA reform measures that curtail rampant PAGA lawsuit abuse while significantly capping potential penalties that are attached to such claims. One of the most notable changes to PAGA — and the most actionable for employers — is the reform to PAGA's penalty provisions. The PAGA amendments provide for significant caps on the potential penalties recoverable in a PAGA action if an employer has taken "all reasonable steps" to ensure wage and hour compliance. These “reasonable steps” include: Conducting periodic payroll audits and taking action in response to audit results; Disseminating lawful written policies; Training supervisors on applicable Labor Code and wage order compliance; and Taking appropriate corrective action with regard to supervisors. This PAGA Wage and Hour Compliance Toolkit, which contains more than 60 digital and physical resources, is designed to assist employers in meeting their wage and hour requirements under the California Labor Code and applicable wage orders — including by providing resources employers can use to take the "reasonable steps" towards compliance that may cap potential PAGA penalties.
