DC Anti-Sexual Harassment Training

The Tipped Wage Workers Fairness Amendment Act (TWWF) requires District employers who hire individuals earning tips as wages to inform their employees about their rights and benefits. Some of the laws providing these rights are enforced by the DC Office of Human Rights (OHR) and others are enforced by the Department of Employment Services (DOES). This Act was part of the repeal of Initiative 77. One requirement of the Act is that businesses that employ at least one tipped wage worker must receive anti-sexual harassment training by an OHR-certified trainer every two years.

The implementation of Initiative 82 does not affect this required law in place. We do not have updates at this time about enforcement or penalties, but if you have questions, please contact Angela Gonzalez at OHR at angela.gonzalez1@dc.gov. 

 

 

A new option for non-managerial employees and owner/operators is to take the training via a pre-recorded video provided by an OHR-certified trainer. RAMW does not offer this option at this time, however, there are several options available. Click here to visit the DC OHR site for their current list of certified trainers.
