Under New York State law, every employer, regardless of size, is required to establish a sexual harassment prevention policy and provide employees, including remote employees, with annual sexual harassment prevention training. A copy of the prevention policy, along with training materials, must be provided to each employee at the time of hiring and annually thereafter as part of the law’s annual notice and training requirements.

Every employer in New York State is required to adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy and training that meets or exceeds Department of Labor and Division of Human Rights guidelines. The New York Department of Labor and New York State Division of Human Rights have developed a free model anti-sexual harassment policy and training program for employers to use.
