Every employer in New York State is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training.
The video below, which may be watched via YouTube or downloaded, meets all state minimum training requirements except one: the video alone is NOT considered interactive. If you are using this video to meet the training requirements, you must also: ask questions of employees as part of the program; accommodate questions asked by employees, with answers provided in a timely manner; or require feedback from employees about the training and the materials presented. This can all be done by using the fillable PDF answer sheet provided here. Employees are able to record their answers directly on the PDF, or print a copy and record answers by hand. Employees should return their answer sheets to their supervisors upon completion of the training and retain a copy for their records.
There is space at the bottom of the answer sheet for employees to include any questions they have while watching the training video, including those specific to their industry, questions about the company’s reporting process and questions about how hypothetical cases would be handled.
