Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Paterson teams
Passaic County counts 149,109 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 12,406 employer establishments, and 96 percent of those establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.

New Jersey employment context
HR compliance for New Jersey employers
New Jersey does not require harassment prevention training, but the Law Against Discrimination reaches further than almost any employment statute in the country: it covers employers from the first employee and is enforced by the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights. New Jersey courts apply an affirmative defense modeled on federal law when an employer can show effective anti-harassment policies and real training, which makes documented supervisor training the practical standard rather than a nice-to-have. New Jersey employers generated 1,569 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), plus claims filed directly under the LAD. Catapult delivers that training to Paterson teams live online, with a completion record for every attendee.
Employment law guidance reviewed by Karol Dixon, Senior HR Advisor, and Cindy Satter, Senior HR Advisor, SHRM-SCP, PHR. See Catapult HR Advisors.

Good to know
Paterson HR training questions
Does the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination cover small employers?
Yes, from the first employee. The LAD has no minimum headcount, so every Paterson business with staff is covered, unlike federal Title VII, which starts at 15. No training is mandated, but with coverage that broad, trained supervisors are the practical difference between a complaint and a lawsuit.
Distance is not a barrier. All open-enrollment courses run live online, and Paterson teams attend alongside peers nationwide. Session times are listed in Eastern Time, which matches Paterson’s clock exactly. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want a room of your own people.
The catalog covers leadership and management, harassment prevention, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. For Paterson employers, demand concentrates where local employment does: health care accounts for 34,358 jobs in Passaic County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages).
Nearly all. HRCI and SHRM approval is listed on each course page, and completion certificates document your hours. If your team holds PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credentials, Catapult sessions slot directly into their recertification plans.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Paterson employers live online or on-site, scheduled around your shifts, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
