Employment of minors: training on sexual harassment.

Abstract

Existing law authorizes specific school administrators to issue a work permit to pupils subject to specific requirements, including requiring certain information to be included on a notification of intent to employ a minor, provided to the administrator by an employer. Existing law requires that the notification of intent to employ a minor be signed by the parent or guardian, the minor, and the employer. Existing law relating to the employment of minors makes it a crime for any person, firm, corporation, or agent or officer of a firm or corporation to violate these provisions. This bill would require that the notification of intent to employ a minor include a certification that the minor has completed a mandatory training on sexual harassment prevention, retaliation, and reporting resources using an online training course made available on the internet website of the Civil Rights Department or other specified training and materials. The bill would require the minor's parent or legal guardian to certify that the training has been completed and present a certificate of completion from the training. The bill would require that training for the minor be in the language understood by that person, whenever reasonably possible. Because a violation of these requirements would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
