Sexual Harassment Prevention Training FAQs

Answers about Sexual Harassment Prevention training requirements by state, credit refunds, customizing with your own policies, and setting up automatic annual re-certification.

Written by Ben Brunken

Sexual Harassment Prevention training in Opus gives every team member the version their state requires and reassigns it before their certification expires.

FAQ

How do you handle state training requirements, for example in Illinois?

Opus has a version for each state with its own requirements (CA, CT, DE, IL, ME, NY, and DC) and a Fundamentals version for all other states. Each comes in a Supervisors and a Non-Supervisors version, and team members are assigned the right one for their state and whether they supervise others.

Can Opus reassign the training automatically when certification expires?

Yes. Set Auto reassign to Yes on a version, and Opus reassigns it to each team member 1 month before their certification expires. How long a certification lasts depends on the version: for example, 1 year in New York and Fundamentals, and 2 years in California.

For states where Sexual Harassment Prevention training are required annually (IL, NY, and ME) and our Fundamentals courses, you have the option to turn on auto-recertification so that employees are automatically reassigned SHP 11 months from their original certification date. This keeps your team compliant 24/7/365.

Reassignments go out on the 1st of each month. A month ahead, Admins get a notification with how many team members will be reassigned and how many credits it will cost.

Can I customize the training?

The training content can't be edited. You can add your business's details, which team members see inside the training: your Anti-Harassment Policy (a PDF), HR Email, Complaint form location, and Complaint hotline. The policy and HR email are required.

If a team member is assigned but doesn't complete the training, do we get the credit back?

A credit is used when a team member starts the training. If they never start it, for example because they leave your business first, no credit is used.

How do you track time when the training is self-paced?

Team members can complete the training over as many sessions as they need. Opus records each session, and you can see them with their time on the Training Sessions tab of a team member's profile in People > Users.

Who reviews the training content?

Each version is audited and approved by the labor law firm Fox Rothschild LLP.
