In addition to providing the sexual harassment prevention training described above, restaurants and bars are required to provide supplemental sexual harassment prevention training that complies with Section 2-110 of the IHRA. Illinois restaurants and bars must either develop their own supplemental training or utilize the model training provided by the IDHR.
Record of Compliance
Employers should keep an internal record of training compliance to be made available for IDHR inspection upon request. Records that reflect compliance may include but are not limited to, a certificate of participation, a signed employee acknowledgement, or training sign-in worksheets.
A record of training should include the names of employees trained, the date of training, the sign-in worksheets, copies of certificates of participation issued, and a copy of all written or recorded materials that comprise the training as well as the name of the training provider, if applicable.
Records may be paper based or electronic.
Documentation of the training should not be sent to IDHR unless requested but should be kept on the employer's premises.
For more information about compliance, please review the IDHR's Frequently Asked Questions page on sexual harassment prevention training and associated subpages.
We are offering an inexpensive training software which can be used to easily assign a compliant training video to your employees. Details and pricing can be viewed here.
