-
Non-supervisory employees: One hour of training every two years, and within six months of hire
-
Seasonal and temporary workers: Training within 30 calendar days of hire or within 100 hours worked, whichever comes first
Q: How is the training delivered?

In person at your workplace, or
-
Remotely via a virtual platform such as Zoom
Both formats are interactive and fully compliant with California's legal training requirements.

Q: What qualifies your firm to provide workplace training?
A: As a licensed California employment attorney, Catherine Chukwueke brings in-depth legal knowledge, a strong understanding of compliance requirements, and practical experience to each training. Our sessions are grounded in current law and designed to help employers understand their responsibilities and minimize legal risk.
Q: Can the training be customized for my industry or company policies?
A: Absolutely. We tailor our training to reflect your specific industry, workforce, and internal policies. For technical safety topics, we may collaborate with certified professionals to ensure accuracy while we oversee legal compliance.
Q: What are the legal consequences of not providing the required training?
A: Non-compliance can result in legal liability, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm. If an employee files a complaint, failure to train can be used as evidence against the employer in administrative actions or litigation.
Q: How often do employees need to be trained?
A: Most mandatory trainings, like sexual harassment prevention, are required every two years. Safety-related trainings may need to be provided annually or when conditions change in the workplace.
