Out-of-state companies with employees within California also need to comply, and new supervisors as of July 1 must be trained within six months. The training must be two hours, interactive, and repeated every two years.</p> <p>Jackson Lewis has contacted California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, as well as the state's Fair Employment and Housing Commission, to obtain guidance on the meaning of the term "interactive." Both have strongly suggested that web-based training will be acceptable under AB 1825.</p> <p>Through an alliance with the web-based provider of management training, Workplace Answers, Jackson Lewis can deliver personalized education specifically designed to comply with California AB 1825. Depending upon the individual needs of the organization, the education options are e-based learning, face-to-face training, or a blend of the two.</p> <p>As part of its management education initiative, Jackson Lewis is offering a series of briefings on the new requirements of California AB1825 and how an organization can meet them. The briefings are designed for supervisory employees-anyone who can "recommend" disciplinary action-as well as decision makers with employee relations responsibilities, such as human resource professionals, chief executive officers, and in-house counsel. </p> <p><a href="PressReleases.aspx">Back to Press Releases</a></p> <p class="go_top"><a href="#top">Top</a></p> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  <div id="footer" class=""> <p>Copyright © 2008 Workplace Answers | All Rights Reserved</p> </div>  <script src="http://leads.demandbase.com/43897.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript><p><img alt="Demandbase Connect" src="http://leads.demandbase.com/43897-db6.gif" /></p></noscript> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-453432-1";urchinTracker();</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://lct.salesforce.com/sfga.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">__sfga();</script> </div>  </div>  </form> </body> </HTML>
