Dealership Compliance
Training Course:
Sexual Harassment
In the Workplace
Federal Advised Staff Training
Overview:
Sexual Harassment Training is not required under federal law. However, many states have
enacted legislation specifically requiring sexual harassment training. Even if not required in a state in
which you operate, the Supreme Court's landmark decisions in the 1998 Faragher and Ellerth sexual harassment cases,
subsequent court decisions and EEOC Guidelines make it clear that sexual harassment training is essential. To raise
a defense or avoid punitive damages in sexual harassment lawsuits, employers need to show that they have provided
periodic sexual harassement training to all employees.
