STATE LAW MANDATES
CT 46a-54-200 / Public Act No. 19-16 “Time’s Up Act” REQUIREMENTS
In 1992, Connecticut was the second state to enforce sexual harassment prevention training for employers. Any workplace that has 50 or more people employed must provide at least two hours of training for all supervisors and managers within the organization. On June 18, 2019, Governor Ned Lamont signed into law the "Times Up Act" which requires employers with three or more employees to train all employees and supervisors for two hours on harassment prevention by October 1, 2020. The law goes into effect October 1, 2019. This requirement must be completed within six months of employee hire date.

NEW TO HARASSMENT LAW
Connecticut state legislators have found that the organizational tolerance of sexual harassment has a detrimental influence in workplaces by creating a hostile environment for employees, reducing productivity, and increasing legal liability. It is their intent to encourage employers to adopt and actively implement policies to ensure their workplaces are safe for employees to report concerns about sexual harassment without fear of retaliation, loss of status, or loss of promotional opportunities.
