DCA Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

All Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) employees are required to receive biennial Sexual Harassment Prevention (SHP) training in accordance with the DCA SHP Policy (EEO 12-01) and to ensure compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1825 (Reyes, Chapter 933, Statutes of 2004). The training is mandatory for Rank and File employees, Temporary employees (Retired Annuitants, Proctors, Seasonal, and Student Assistants), Managers, Supervisors, Board, and Commission Members.

In accordance with CA Code of Regulations, §11024 Sexual Harassment Training and Education, DCA has chosen the "mandatory training year" method to track SHP training compliance. This means that all DCA employees are required to coordinate their training to fit "compliance years," which for DCA are the odd numbered years. Since 2019 is a compliance year, all DCA employees, Managers, Supervisors, Board, and Commission members are required to complete the training within this year.

Upon completion of the two-hour course, employees should:

• Print their certificate of SHP training completion or for classroom training, obtain their certificate of completion from the class instructor, and sign it with their legal name.
• Review the DCA Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy, Policy # (EEO 12-01).
• Print and Sign (with their legal name) the Annual Acknowledgement of Receipt and Understanding of Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy (SHP Policy-Attachment A).
• Keep a copy of the certificate of completion for the employee's record.
• Give a copy of the certificate of completion to their supervisor/manager, HR Liaison or designee (e.g., Executive Officer).
• Send the original signed Annual Acknowledgement form (SHP Policy-Attachment A), to the DCA EEO Office at 1625 N. Market Blvd. Suite N-330, Sacramento CA 95834
• Send the original signed certificate of SHP training completion to SOLID Training & Planning Solutions at 1747 North Market Blvd., Suite 270, Sacramento, CA 95834 New!
