NYS Compliance

New York State was one of the first states in the nation to pass groundbreaking and comprehensive legislation in 2018 aimed at preventing sexual harassment and gender discrimination at work. Included in that legislation was the requirement to review and update the state's model policy and training every four years.

In 2022, a new nation-leading sexual harassment prevention policy was crafted by the New York State Department of Labor, in consultation with the New York State Division of Human Rights, through an in-person hearing as well as online feedback from workers, employers, and other stakeholders across New York State.

The updates include a new sexual harassment prevention policy and sexual harassment prevention training with guidelines for employers and employees as well as an interactive video and answer sheet to assist training.
