Frequently Asked Questions
What to consider when choosing the right Harassment & Discrimination Training for Maine
The Title 26 M.R.S.A. §807 prohibits employment discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics, including sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more. Under Title 26 M.R.S.A. 807, employers with 15 or more employees must provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees within one year of hire and to supervisors within one year of assuming a supervisory role. Training must be repeated every 2 years, and employers must keep records of completion. The law also requires posting a notice and providing a written policy outlining prohibited conduct and complaint procedures.
Title 26 M.R.S.A. §807 sets requirements for what must be covered in sexual harassment training, but it does not mandate a specific length of time. The law only requires the training to be interactive and to include certain core topics (definitions, examples, complaint procedures, anti-retaliation, etc.), with additional responsibilities covered for supervisors.
The strongest programs teach employees how to recognize and respond to concerning behavior in real time. They include clear definitions, relatable examples, and actionable steps that feel usable in everyday situations. Courses that are inclusive, regularly refreshed, and tailored to different roles help the lessons stick and encourage long-term behavior change.
