Effective January 1, 2020, all bars and restaurants operating in Illinois are required to provide annual sexual harassment training to all employees. The training must contain examples of illegal sexual harassment that are common to bars and restaurants and discuss manager/supervisor responsibilities under the law. The training must be made available in both English and Spanish. Failing to comply can lead to penalties for bars and restaurants between $500 and $5,000 per offense.
Under SB75, harassment training must be given to each employee, every year. The law does not specify when the training must occur, only that is must occur annually. Within the first calendar week of employment, restaurants and bars must inform new employees about its sexual harassment policy in writing.
To minimize liability associated with untrained employees, we suggest that they undergo the mandatory training within a similar timeframe. At a minimum, we recommend bars and restaurants in Illinois adhere to best practices and train new employees within six months of hire, though the law in Illinois does not stipulate this explicitly.
For more information, see SB 75.
