New Abusive Conduct Training Required for California Employers Effective January 1, 2015, employers with more than 50 employees are required to include in their mandated supervisor training a component on the prevention of abusive conduct in the workplace. Existing law requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide sexual harassment training to supervisors within six months of their hiring and then once every two years thereafter. Assembly Bill No. 2053, signed int...o law by Governor Brown on September 9, 2014, expands the scope of training required by AB 1825 to include an element on the prevention of abusive conduct in the workplace. "Abusive conduct" is defined in the statute as malicious conduct of an employer or employee in the workplace that a reasonable person would find hostile, offensive, and unrelated to the employer's legitimate business interests. Contact Terence L. Greene if your business needs additional information or training on California's required workplace supervisor trainings. For more information, please visit http://ow.ly/Eef6R
