New York City Commission on Human Rights Issues Mandatory Anti-Sexual Harassment Poster

Executive Summary: As part of the new anti-sexual harassment laws passed in response to the #MeToo movement this past spring, New York City now requires employers to post a notice of employees’ rights and remedies if they have been subjected to sexual harassment. (FordHarrison previously discussed the updates to the City law in our April 30, 2018 Alert.) The New York City Commission on Human Rights (“the Commission”) has issued a poster for use by employers: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/materials/SexHarass_Notice-8.5×11.pdf. Employers must “conspicuously” display this poster “in employee breakrooms or other common areas employees gather” no later than September 6, 2018.
