Senate Bill 1343

Dear valued Customers,

As many of you may already be aware, there is a new Senate Bill  - 1343 that was recently passed by the State of CA.

This bill requires an employer who employs 5 or more employees, including temporary or seasonal employees, to provide at least 2 hours of sexual harassment training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of sexual harassment training to all nonsupervisory employees by January 1, 2020, and once every 2 years thereafter, as specified.

Some of the Workers Compensation Insurance Companies that we represent will provide this training for free.

There are several ways for you to obtain this training for your employees. If you are currently insured with one of the Insurance Companies listed below, we have included an explanation on their procedure as to how to access their training programs:

Zenith
•    Zenith is making it easy for their clients to comply with this law by offering online anti-harassment training at no cost through Zenith Solution Center® (ZSC). Within ZSC, policyholders can assign training to each of their employees through Training TrackTM . Once training is completed, a certificate of completion is available for download.

Policyholders can log in to ZSC or set up an account to access training, and also view their anti-harassment training flyer for complete details.

ICW
•    ICW Group training, including HR training such as CA sexual harassment, is provided through RMRx Safety Advisor website. To access the training, policyholders start by logging into myResource:  https://myresource.icwgroup.com/InsuredPortal/DashBoard.aspx.

The training is free and if the customer needs a myResource account, they can request it here:
https://www.icwgroup.com/pc/myresource/myresource-accounts/.  

Policyholders who have signed up for HR OnDemand can call an advisor if they have any questions about the new legislation related to training, such as who needs to be trained, when they need to be trained, or how frequently training must occur.

All other carriers
•    Since at this time they do not provide SB 1343 compliance training, if you type on Google “State Bill 1343 training”, you will find several companies that will do this training.

Remember, you only have until 01/01/21 to comply to this requirement.
