including, but not limited to, the Connecticut discriminatory
employment practices statute (section 46a-60 of the
Connecticut General Statutes), California Assembly
Bill 1825, and "Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. section 2000e).
The course is two hours long and complies with all
Connecticut General Statutes, the California Assembly
Bill 1825, and "Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended, related to sexual harassment
supervisor training law requirements. To comply
with California AB 1825, and or subdivision (8) of
subsection (a) of section 46a-60 of the Connecticut

real life illustrations of how sexual harassment can
disrupt the workplace, cause employee conflicts and
create liability for an organization whether the employee
believes it to be offensive or not.
