What’s changed?

Recently, Connecticut enacted two new laws (Public Acts 19-16 and 19-93) changing the sexual harassment training requirements for Connecticut employers. Effective October 1, 2019:
  • Employers with three or more employees must provide sexual harassment training to all employees by October 1, 2020.
  • Employers with fewer than three employees must provide sexual harassment training only to supervisory employees.
  • Employers must provide periodic supplemental training not less than every ten years.
  • Employees hired on October 1, 2019, or later must receive training within six months of hire.
  • Employees that have received two hours of sexual harassment training since October 1, 2018, do not need to be trained before October 1, 2020.
  • Employees have 300 days to file a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO).
The Connecticut Sexual Harassment is Illegal posting has been revised to reflect these new amendments to the law.
Who must post? 
Employers with three or more employees must post the Connecticut Sexual Harassment is Illegal posting in a conspicuous or accessible place in each establishment where employees and applicants can easily see it. (Connecticut General Statutes, Section 46a-54-201)
What else do I need to know?
Covered employers are also required to notify employees of the illegality of sexual harassment in the workplace by providing employees with sexual harassment notice via email within three months of hire. The subject line of the e-mail must include the words “Sexual Harassment Policy” or similar phrasing. Employers who do not provide employees with an e-mail account are required to post the information on their website or by providing a link to the CHRO website via e-mail, text message or in writing. The notice can be accessed from our Free Labor Law Compliance Postings webpage.
