New State Legislation – Sexual Harassment Training Required!

New state legislation requires that Designated Brokers must complete supervisory sexual harassment training and provide employees with access to training. Salespeople, brokers, broker associates and independent contractors are now liable for sexual harassment in professional relationships with clients (whether they have terminated your relationship, or not). Therefore, C.A.R. recommends that you complete 1-hour of sexual harassment training immediately, and 1-hour every 2 years, hereafter. Read more for links to training.
