What Connecticut employers should know

Our Connecticut course documents participation in two hours of interactive sexual harassment prevention training, and it is built to the content requirements in the CHRO training regulations.

Connecticut applies training obligations to employees as well as supervisors, which is broader than several other states.

What this page does not tell you

This is not legal advice, and it is not a complete statement of Connecticut law. We publish the statutory reference our own course material cites and the practical points that material covers. We do not publish hour counts, deadlines or coverage thresholds that we cannot trace to a source, because a training vendor restating a requirement it has not verified is how an employer ends up under-trained while believing they are covered. For the current rule, go to the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.

Common questions

Who has to take harassment prevention training in Connecticut?

The obligation generally follows where your employees work rather than where your company is registered, so an employer with staff in Connecticut is usually covered even if headquartered elsewhere. Several states also treat supervisors differently from other employees. Confirm the current scope with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, which is the authority on who is covered.

Does online training meet the Connecticut requirement?

Connecticut expects interactive training, and our course is built to be interactive rather than a video you watch passively. It issues a dated certificate with a unique ID that anyone can verify. What a course cannot supply is your own policy, your named reporting contacts and your complaint route, and our material tells learners to find those from their employer rather than inventing them.

How do I prove we trained our staff?

Every trainee gets a certificate carrying their own name, the date, and a unique ID that an investigator or auditor can confirm on our verification page without an account. The name is the one the trainee confirms themselves at the end of the course, not the name on the card that paid for it.

Where can I read the actual Connecticut rule?

Go to the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. We link to it on this page. We publish the statutory reference our own course material cites and nothing beyond it, because a training vendor restating a requirement it has not verified is how employers end up under-trained while believing they are covered.
