| | LawRoom: AB 1825 |
 | | The new law, effective January 2005, requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide at least two hours of "classroom or other effective interactive training" to all supervisory employees on the prevention of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation. |
 | | While AB1825 does not define "supervisor," it’s broadly defined elsewhere in the FEHA: anyone who directs other employees, or has the authority (or significant influence) to hire, transfer, suspend, layoff, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, adjust grievances, or discipline other employees. |
 | | And, if an employer complies with the new law, it does not insulate the employer from liability for sexual harassment of any current, former employee or applicant. |
