Print the email certification, along with a note to the file including the following:
Following are employers' critical requirements for AB1825 compliance:Requirement: Companies doing business in California that have 50 or more employees (including full-time, part-time, and temporary workers) or contractors must provide supervisors located in California with two hours of harassment training every two years. The 50-employee threshold is met even if most employees and contractors work outside of California. New supervisors located in California must be trained within 6 months, and every two years thereafter.
Requirement: Training must be interactive, and be conducted/designed by an experienced trainer with knowledge and expertise in the prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. Osha4less.com Solution: Osha4less.com's programs include interactive testing with direct feedback on each answer, and printable materials for use in interactive discussions.

Their collaboration provides the knowledge and expertise required by AB 1825. Requirement: Employers must document training to track AB 1825 compliance. Records must include:

Requirement: Employers using e-learning programs, such as Osha4less.com's online sexual harasment training, for AB1825 compliance must provide a link or directions for contacting trainers or educators within the company or with the e-learning provider. These trainers or educators must be available to answer questions and provide guidance and assistance on harassment training issues within a reasonable period of time after a question is asked, but no more than two business days after the question is asked.
