Presented by BBSI 
Thursday, March 30, 2017
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
At the Pleasanton Chamber 
Harassment training for supervisors has always been a good idea; now it is required by law for all California employers with 50 or more employees but it is highly recommended for all business owners and all employees, regardless of size.
Additionally, effective April 1, 2016 employers with  5 or more employees must have a written policy against harassment which must meet certain requirements including employer's affirmative duty to prevent harassment and discrimination and a written complaint process.
Lunch will be served at 11:00 a.m. with the session beginning promptly at 11:15 and ending at 1:00.
