Mandatory Training in 6 States

Several States, including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine and New York, have anti-harassment laws requiring mandatory harassment prevention training for restaurants – including all employees. If your restaurant is in one of these states, this means you must provide anti-harassment training for all employees, and keep records for up to 3 years. Dupont Learning simplifies this process by making it easy for your employees to self-register and take the training – using any device.  We can then keep track of all training for your specific restaurant, and send you automatic completion reports via email. Cost for training is $9 per employee, and another $100 to set up and administer the auto reports.

Can Harassment Happen at Your Restaurant?

Restaurants are places where people go to relax and have a good time. Staff, in fact, are trained to provide an “experience” to guests. But sometimes this “experience” goes too far, and somehow a guest or an employee makes an abusive comment or touches a staff member inappropriately. Others may see this happening, but don’t say or do anything about it.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Emboldened Guests” image=”https://www.dupontlearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/iconfinder_dirty_talk_fuck_harassment_hate_speech_inappropriate_rude_word_1298790.png” alt=”restaurant harassment” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]

Guests (and employees) may feel emboldened to cross one line, and then another, because of the very real expectation that staff will not do or say anything to disrupt their good time.  Victims of harassment often manage the emotions of their abusers to keep the peace, wondering in silence how to avoid a scene, assault, retaliation.

If you can imagine harassment at your restaurant, you can probably also imagine the employee filing a lawsuit.  But more likely, you can envision your restaurant earning the reputation of being a difficult place to work.

Harassment Prevention Training for Restaurants … It is not just about being sued!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]

It is an understatement that your restaurant needs to provide a safe and harassment-free workplace. Employees need to know their rights and responsibilities under the law, and how to respond in bad situations. Harassment Prevention Training for Restaurants can help your employees know what to do, without fearing for their job, or other types of backlash.

Sexual harassment law can be confusing.  There are federal laws, state laws, and sometimes county and municipality laws.  Here is a list of laws in the states that require harassment prevention training for restaurants.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”California” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]

• California sexual harassment law protects both independent contractors and unpaid interns.
• California law allows harassers to be held personally responsible in court. (Federal law only allows employers to be named in a lawsuit.)
• California harassment law has no caps on punitive and compensatory damages in court.  (Federal law starts at a $50,000 cap for employers with 15-100 employees and caps larger companies with 500 or more employees at $300,000)
• California mandates 2-hours of sexual harassment training for all supervisors in companies of 5 or more employees every two years and 1-hour of training for all non-supervisory employees every 2 years.  The October 2018 passage of Senate Bill 1343 dropped the company size requirement from 50 to 5 and included all non-supervisory employees for the first time.  Employers have until January 1st, 2020 to provide the training required in this bill.
• In addition to sexual harassment, training must include information on abusive conduct (workplace bullying), the federal and California protected groups, and it must specifically cover information about harassment and discrimination of LGBT employees.
• California protects employees from harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity with an exemption for religious organizations and requires supervisors to be trained on the subject as part of mandatory sexual harassment training. (The EEOC protects LGBT employees through its interpretation of sex discrimination in Title VII, however federal law does not specifically name sexual orientation and gender identity as protected groups.)
• Employees in California should be advised of their right to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing within 365 days.  California law provides more protections for employees than federal law, however, employees also have the right to file with the EEOC.  Filing with the EEOC is recommended in only rare circumstances.
