The BRI is hosting two Sexual Harassment P revention Trainings this summer. These trainings are interactive workshops conduced by labor law attorney Matt Persanis of Elefante & Persanis\, LLP. They satisfy the requirements of the New York state mandate that all employ ees be trained annually in sexual harassment prevention\, and those who com plete the training will receive a certificate for your files.
Because of the pandemic\, these trainings will be hosted on Zoom. We will be limit ing attendance at each session to a few dozen participants to ensure that w e can maintain some amount of discussion and interaction\, as required by t he state guidance for these trainings. Registration is offered on a first-c ome\, first-served basis. A video camera on each trainee's computer\, table t\, or smartphone is required for participation.
Each training takes approximately 90 minutes. They are open to all BRI member businesses or buildings (condos or co-ops) that are current in their dues and provide d free of charge for as many as we can accommodate.
Remember:
Ne
w York State Law REQUIRES that ALL EMPLOYERS provide Sexual Harassment Prev
ention Training annually to ALL EMPLOYEES (regardless of number of employee
s\, exempt/non-exempt status\, full/part-time status\, union/non-union\, et
c.)
This year's training must be completed by 10/9/2020. The deadline
has not yet been extended by any of the Governor's Executive Orders relatin
g to the public health emergency.
This BRI-sponsored workshop will mee
t the NY State-required sexual harassment prevention training requirements\
, and will outline requirements for a model sexual harassment policy\, incl
uding complaint procedures.
