Frequently asked questions

Which Connecticut employers must provide sexual harassment training?
Connecticut's Time's Up Act (Public Act 19-16) requires employers with three or more employees to provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees. Employers with fewer than three employees must still provide training to supervisory employees.
How long must Connecticut sexual harassment training be?
Connecticut requires at least 2 hours of sexual harassment prevention training for all employees. This is a minimum floor — training may be longer but may not be shorter.
When must new employees complete Connecticut sexual harassment training?
New employees must complete training within 6 months of their date of hire. Prior training portability is narrow: only training provided directly by the Connecticut CHRO (online or in-person) within 2 years of the new hire date may satisfy the requirement with documentation. Training provided by a prior employer through a different provider does not automatically transfer. Employers should verify portability with qualified legal counsel before relying on prior training records.
When must new supervisors complete training under Connecticut law?
Any employee promoted or hired into a supervisory role must complete training within 6 months of assuming those supervisory responsibilities, regardless of whether they previously received non-supervisory training.
What makes AWI Training compliant with Connecticut's interactive standard?
Connecticut requires training to be interactive, providing employees with the ability to ask questions about the training material and receive answers in a reasonable time. AWI Training satisfies this through Zee-Bot scenario-based assessments and an interactive quiz after each video training module — both require active engagement and satisfy Connecticut's interactivity requirement under CHRO guidance.
What topics must Connecticut sexual harassment training cover?
Connecticut CHRO model training requires coverage of: the definition of sexual harassment under state and federal law, types and examples of sexual harassment, remedies available to victims, complaint procedures, the prohibition on retaliation, and supervisor-specific obligations for responding to complaints.
