Connecticut employment context
HR compliance for Connecticut employers
Connecticut requires real training hours. An employer with 3 or more employees must provide 2 hours of sexual harassment prevention training to every employee, and employers with fewer than 3 must train their supervisors, under General Statutes section 46a-54(15) as expanded by the 2019 Time’s Up Act. New hires must be trained within 6 months of starting, and the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO), which enforces the requirement, calls for supplemental refresher training at least every 10 years. Live interactive webinar training satisfies the format. Connecticut employers also generated 338 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), alongside filings made directly with CHRO. Catapult runs compliant harassment prevention sessions live online, so Waterbury teams hit the statutory deadlines without leaving their desks.
