Question:
Hi Jennifer,
Are you helping train on sexual harassment? I heard the new law is in effect in October.
Thanks,
Dr. S
Answer:
Hi Doc, Yes, of course. For those who haven't heard...prior to January 1, 2019 ALL NY EMPLOYERS must train all employees on Sexual Harassment. New York DOL has put out a simple overview available here, which also contains simple sample policies - https://www.ny.gov/programs/combating-sexual-harassment-workplace. The draft policies provided by the state are template and do not contain the legally required complaint form, and are not tailored specific for medical practices. Whats involved: disseminating somewhat specific paperwork, setting up reporting procedures and actually holding a training.
If you prefer the customized policies or for us to help with training, contact Taryn at (516) 747-6700 x. 310 or by email at TCrimi@Kirschenbaumesq.com.
Join us Next Tuesday for a Webinar on how to train. We also will discuss how K&K is available to train by webinar or in person on this topic.
