Who's an "employer"?
AB 1825, the law mandating workplace sexual harassment training in California, requires "employers" to comply. So, who's an "employer"?
We're still awaiting the official regulations, but I've parsed the statutory text to clarify the definition. Under the new Government Code ยง12950.1(c),
"employer" means:
any person
regularly employing 50 or more persons or
regularly receiving the services of 50 or more persons providing services pursuant to a contract, or any person
acting as an agent of an employer, directly or indirectly,
the state, or
any political or civil subdivision of the state, and
cities.
In other words, any organization with 50 people working — including employees, independent contractors, consultants, and temps — and most public employers regardless of the number of employees.
