Annual Employee Sexual Harassment Training
In August 2019, Governor Pritzker signed sweeping legislation that made significant changes to various Illinois discrimination and ethics laws to combat sexual harassment. Illinois employers must now implement annual training  for all employees regarding sexual harassment prevention that meets the minimum standards set forth by the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR).
