Training "already trained" supervisors
Here's a real question from an HR Director: "I have a newly hired manager who received training at his previous company 6 months ago. Can that training count for our company, or do they need to do it again with my company? If it counts what kind of proof would we need?"
AB 1825 requires each employer to provide training to its supervisors — it doesn't permit supervisors to be "certified" that they've been trained or excuse supervisors who have already been trained.
Basically, the question is: Did your company train its supervisors as required by AB 1825? (It's not "Did your supervisors complete AB 1825 training somewhere?")
Unfortunately, if your organization hasn't provided the training itself, I do not believe that your organization has complied with the law EVEN IF the supervisor completed AB 1825 training elsewhere.
