Virginia employment context
HR compliance for Virginia employers
Virginia does not mandate harassment prevention training, but its discrimination law just got much broader. As of July 1, 2026, the Virginia Human Rights Act covers employers with 5 or more employees, down from 15, and workers now have 730 days to file with the Office of Civil Rights in the Attorney General’s office. Virginia employers also faced 2,767 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). A 5-person Virginia Beach business now carries state discrimination exposure that used to start at 15 employees. Documented manager training is the practical response: it is the reasonable-care evidence courts look for under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions. For Virginia Beach employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.
