Effective on October 9, 2018, New York State and New York City legislators passed a number of new initiatives for sexual harassment prevention laws in response to the #MeToo Movement and increased allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace. The new laws require various provisions for employee communications, training and several dates for compliance. Overlap exists between both laws, so employers are encouraged to review and consider all requirements when establishing new policies, training programs and employee communications. The New York City Act addresses 11 separate bills and is categorized as being one of the strictest anti-sexual harassment laws in the United States.Summaries of the New York State and New York City compliance requirements are outlined below:
