Every employer in the State of New York is required to establish a sexual harassment prevention policy. Employers are also required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training. (NY LAB, Sec. 201-g)
The training must:
- be interactive;

- include examples of unlawful sexual harassment;
- including information concerning the federal and state statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment and remedies available to targets of sexual harassment;
- include information concerning employees’ rights of redress and all available forums for adjudicating complaints; and
- include information addressing conduct by supervisors and additional responsibilities for supervisors.
Every employee must receive sexual harassment prevention training annually. During this annual training, employees must receive the New York Sexual Harassment Prevention Notice.

- examples of prohibited conduct;
- statute of limitations;
- steps to take if an employee is being sexually harassed;
