Vermont employment context
HR compliance for Vermont employers
Vermont requires every employer, whatever its size, to adopt a written sexual harassment policy, give each employee an individual copy, and post the policy in the workplace, under 21 V.S.A. section 495h. The Commissioner of Labor publishes a model policy and poster, and the statute encourages, without mandating, harassment education for new employees and supervisors. Employment discrimination claims against private Vermont employers are enforced by the Vermont Attorney General’s Civil Rights Unit, and the EEOC recorded 30 Vermont charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). With coverage starting at the first employee, even the smallest Burlington teams carry harassment liability. Catapult’s live online sessions give Burlington teams documented, instructor-led training with completion records for your files.
