Illinois employment context
HR compliance for Illinois employers
Illinois is one of the few states that mandates workplace training. Under the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-109), every employer with employees working in Illinois must provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees at least once a year, starting from the first employee on payroll. The training must cover the definition and examples of unlawful sexual harassment, the federal and state remedies available to victims, and the employer’s responsibilities for prevention, investigation and correction. Employers may use the free model program from the Illinois Department of Human Rights or any program that meets or exceeds it; IDHR enforces the mandate with civil penalties that reach $5,000 for repeat violations. Illinois employers also generated 5,180 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so completion records matter. Catapult runs instructor-led online sessions that satisfy the Illinois annual mandate and document completion for Joliet employers.

Good to know
Joliet HR training questions
How often must Illinois employees complete sexual harassment prevention training?
At least once every year. The Illinois Human Rights Act sets an annual cycle for all employees, not a one-time or two-year requirement. For Joliet’s high-turnover warehouse workforces, the practical move is folding the training into onboarding rather than waiting for the annual company-wide session.
Yes. Every public session is live online and open to anyone in Illinois, with no travel and no residency requirement. Joliet is on Central Time, 1 hour behind Eastern, and a noon Eastern start is an 11:00 AM seat locally. In-person seats exist only at the Charlotte and Raleigh training centers in North Carolina.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HR certification prep, live online or privately on-site. The frontline-management and compliance courses track the people issues transportation and warehousing employers around Joliet deal with every week.
Most do. Registration pages list the HRCI and SHRM credit for each course, and attendees receive completion records for their files. Both credentialing bodies run 3-year cycles, so steady attendance beats a deadline scramble every time.
Yes, two ways: a live online session reserved for your Joliet team, or facilitators on-site at your location. Content can be tailored to your policies, and scheduling follows your calendar and your time zone.
