COMPLY WITH ILLINOIS SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

The Workplace Transparency Act, an amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA), requires employers to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees every year. The law applies to all employers regardless of size, and includes all workers, including short-term, part-time, and interns. All employees who work or will work in Illinois must be trained, regardless of where their employer is based. Likewise, employees who are based outside of Illinois, but who regularly interact with other employees in Illinois, should also be trained.

The Laws

•  Section 2-109(B) of the IHRA requires employers to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees annually 
•  Section 2-110(B) requires restaurants and bar employers to provide a copy of a sexual harassment prevention policy to all employees 
•  Section 2-110(C) of the IHRA requires restaurant and bar employers to provide supplemental sexual harassment prevention training annually (in addition to the training required of all employers)
