In response to the #MeToo movement, several states have passed legislation aimed at combatting workplace sexual harassment. These legislative measures range from banning non-disclosure provisions and mandatory, pre-dispute arbitration agreements, to requiring employers to provide anti-harassment training and distribute anti-harassment policies and information. Multi-jurisdictional private employers, especially those with employees in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Vermont, and Washington State should be aware of these laws, as they have significant implications for the workplace. This breakfast briefing will provide a high-level overview of these laws and will discuss what steps employers impacted by these laws should take to ensure they are in compliance.
