Frequently Asked Questions
How many employees do I have to have to be required to provide this training?
S.B. 1343 requires training for all employers of 5 or more employees. There is no requirement that the 5 employees work at the same location or that all work or reside in California.
What is the deadline for training?
Both supervisors and non-supervisory employees must receive training by January 1, 2021. They also must be retrained once every two years. New employees and employees promoted to supervisor positions must receive training within six months of assuming their position.
What if my employees are not trained by January 1, 2021?
The Department of Fair Housing and Employment will accept complaints from employees that their employers have not complied with the law and the DFEH will investigate accordingly.
Does the employer have to pay for the training or does the employee pay?
The law specifies "An employer...shall provide..." so it is the employer's - not the employee's - responsibility to provide the training, including any costs that may be incurred.
Can my employees all watch the training from the same computer?
Yes. Many times employees do not have a work computer or email so this site will allow you to register many employees using the same email address and all employees can participate from the same computer. Separate Certificates of Completion will be emailed to distribute to the individual employees
