If Signed into Law, Employer Documentation Burdens Will Increase for Their Sexual Anti-Harassment Training and Policies

The New York Legislature passed a bill (Assembly Bill A368A) shortly before adjournment in June 2026 that if signed by the governor will increase recordkeeping responsibilities of employers.  The bill would take effect 90 days after becoming law.  Specifically, employers must obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from their employees each time they provide written notice of sexual harassment training and policy information.  The acknowledgment must be provided in English and the employee’s primary language and retained for six years.  And employers must provide seven days’ advance written notice of any changes to their sexual anti-harassment training or policy information.
