Under MA General Laws, Chapter 151B, employers with six or more employees are REQUIRED to adopt a written policy against sexual harassment.
An employer’s policy must include notice to employees that sexual harassment in the workplace is unlawful and that it is unlawful to retaliate against an employee for filing a complaint of sexual harassment. The policy should also assert the employer’s commitment to investigate any complaint of sexual harassment. If you do not have a policy or you need an updated policy, please let us know.
Further, MA law encourages employers to conduct education and training programs on sexual harassment for all employees on a regular basis (suggested annually). At the time of an employee’s hire, and again at the anti-harassment training, the written policies against sexual harassment are distributed. If the training is done virtually, we can provide the materials in hard copy or have you upload the policies to your employee portal.
Should you wish to schedule your annual anti-sexual harassment training session before the summer (when many employees take their PTO), kindly reach out to this office by email and indicate preferred dates for May and June. We will do our best to accommodate the dates requested.
