Do out of state workers, contractors, seasonal and temporary employees count toward the 50?
Contractors Employees include full time, part time, and temporary workers. “Contractors” are people who work each working day in 20 consecutive weeks in the current calendar year or preceding calendar year. Out of state employees Employers are required to provide this training if they have 50 employees anywhere, not just in California. The prior regulations required even a large company with a single sales person in California to train the supervisor of that person, even if the supervisor was not in California. This has changed, so that only supervisors in California must receive the training. The training must meet the requirements of California law a course in federal harassment law will not meet California requirements. Seasonal employees If your company has seasonal employees, you are deemed to have 50 or more employees if you employ “fifty or more employees or contractors for each working day in any twenty consecutive weeks in the current calendar year or preceding calendar year.”
