The New York Law Journal outlines the different measures states are taking to pass anti-harassment legislation to combat these issues, and highlights New York’s States new regulations as being the most stringent.
The survey also reported that:
- “nearly half the women in New York state said they’ve been victims of sexual harassment; and
- about 70 percent of respondents agree that sexual harassment in the workplace is a significant problem”.
All New York employers are reminded that they must institute a written sexual harassment prevention policy and conduct anti-harassment training for all employees by October 9, 2019.
