Attorney Robert Noonan lead the training session held on Tuesday January 28th which provided over 100 members with their Sexual Harassment Training Prevention Certification, a now mandated activity for all employees working for companies with three or more employees. The next CMTA Sponsored training will be February 26th in Bridgeport.
The two hour session began with the high-profile incidents of the #Metoo movement and how it has impacted each of our businesses. A "self-test" of seven questions was provided to all attendees followed by a spirited discussion of what is and is not defined as harassment. The results were eye opening....resulting in a worthwhile experience for all attendees.
Following the employee training, employers remained for a critical introduction of what CT's Family Medical Leave Act will mean for employers beginning January 1, 2021 as well as other impactful legislative changes.

The second CMTA sponsored in-person opportunity will be held on February 26th at the Bridgeport Holiday Inn, Main Street Bridgeport. The morning will be for certification and the afternoon session will be for employers/human resource directors and will cover FMLA and other labor topics. Registration may be found here.
There are a number of additional ways for employees to receive certification including the state's site for certification and certain payroll providers. Robert Noonan will also hold on-line webinars on the following dates:
• Feb. 11 (Tuesday) 9:30-11:30 a.m.
• Feb. 25 (Tuesday) 1:30-3:30 p.m.
• Mar. 24 (Tuesday) 9:30-11:30 a.m.
Additional information on the on-line training may be found here.
NOTE: CMTA is encouraging all employers to take advantage of these opportunities now, as the requirement for certification for existing employees is October 1, 2020. A take-a-way from the January 28th event was that the in-person session did provide a community of comments and its impact was important as we all strive to operate better businesses.
All new hires must be trained within six months of hire.
