In addition, employers must adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy and training program or use a similar policy and training program that meet or exceed the law’s minimum standards. Effective January 2019, all state contractors must submit an affirmation that they have a sexual harassment policy and provide annual training to all of their employees.
