Combating Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Article from New York State




On April 12, 2018 Governor Cuomo signed into law the 2019 New York State Budget, updating the State’s sexual harassment laws.

 The Human Rights Law now protects contractors, subcontractors, vendors, consultants or others providing services in the workplace from sexual harassment in the workplace.

 Beginning in October 2018 Employers must adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy and training or use a similar policy and training that meet or exceeds the law’s minimum standards.

 Beginning in January 2019, all state contractors must submit an affirmation that they have a sexual harassment policy and that they provide annual training to all of their employees.
