HR Practitioner’s Corner General HR CA A.B. 1825 can affect employers outside California. Employers in California with 50 or more employees (including contract employees) are subject to providing sexual harassment prevention training to supervisors. The bill also extends to supervisors who work in California but whose company is located outside the state. The Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) is the state agency responsible for regulating and implementing the provisions for AB 1825. It is crucial for employers and human resources professionals to understand and comply with A.B. 1825 to the letter. NRG HR has the experience to assist with A.B. 1825 compliance, including supervisory training. Contact us - we are here to help you!
