EasyLlama’s Illinois edition of Preventing Discrimination and Harassment training complies with all of Illinois’ mandatory requirements. Here are some facts:

On August 9, 2019, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 75, the Workplace Transparency Act, which amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. The Act requires that all employers in Illinois provide sexual harassment training to all employees, each year, starting in 2020.

EasyLlama’s training course on Preventing Discrimination and Harassment are designed by e-learning and legal experts including Littler Mendelson, the nation’s largest human resources and labor law firm. The course meets Illinois State’s latest regulations based on the list provided by the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the Public Act 101-0221 (titled the Workplace Transparency Act)/ S.B. 75/ Section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA):
 
An explanation of sexual harassment consistent with SB75 (chapter 1)
-- Examples of conduct that constitute unlawful sexual harassment (chapter 2,3)
-- A summary of relevant Federal and State statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment, including remedies available to victims of sexual harassment (chapter 8)
-- A summary of responsibilities of employers in the prevention, investigation, and corrective measures of sexual harassment (chapter 8,12)

Illinois is at the forefront of addressing sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. As of January 1, 2020, the IHRA requires Illinois employers to provide sexual harassment prevention training by December 31, 2020, and annually thereafter; and for restaurants and bars to establish and disseminate a written policy on sexual harassment within the first week of an individual’s hire and to provide supplemental, industry-specific sexual harassment prevention training. EasyLlama is here to help the restaurant industry comply with those latest changes.

How frequently must employees be trained?
By December 31, 2020, employers must provide all employees with sexual harassment prevention training. Thereafter, the training is required annually. Fulfilling the annual training requirements is based on the calendar year. The IDHR encourages employers to also train employees that received training at a prior employer. Employers are required to keep records that show that all employees received sexual harassment training.
 
Who needs to take the training?
All employees must be trained, including short-term employees, part-time employees, and interns. The IDHR strongly recommends that independent contractors also receive training, especially if they work on-site or interact with the employer’s staff. Furthermore, employees based outside of Illinois who regularly interact with employees in Illinois also should be trained.
 
When must employees get trained?
The IDHR encourages employers to train new employees as soon as possible after hire. Employers are liable for the harassing conduct of new employees starting when they are hired. Training must be provided by December 31, 2020 and then annually by December 31.
