Every employer with employees working in the State of Illinois is required to provide all employees with sexual harassment prevention training that complies with Section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act ("IHRA"). Employers may develop their own sexual harassment prevention training program that equals or exceeds the minimum standards for sexual harassment prevention training outlined in Section 2-109(B) of the IHRA, or may use the model sexual harassment prevention training developed by the Illinois Department of Human Rights ("IDHR"). In addition to the training required under Section 2-109, restaurants and bars are also required to provide supplemental sexual harassment prevention training that complies with Section 2-110 of the IHRA. Employers who do not comply are subject to fines from the Illinois Human Rights Commission.
