New Georgia Immigration Law To Restrict State Contractors On April 17, 2006, Georgia enacted the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, which will require employers who contract with any Georgia department, agency, or subdivision to participate in a federally sponsored work authorization program to verify information of newly hired employees under Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). The law takes effect in phases, starting July 1, 2007 for employers with 500 or more employees, July 1, 2008 for employers with 100 or more employees, and July 1, 2009 for all other employers.  For a full copy of the Act, please click here.   Connecticut Requires Sexual Harassment Training For New Supervisory Employees   Connecticut employers with 50 or more employees must provide two hours of training on the prevention of sexual harassment to all new supervisory employees within six months of their hire or promotion to a supervisory position.   Regulations require that the training and education be conducted in a classroom-like setting, using clear, understandable language, and include an opportunity for questions and answers.  Training must cover (a) federal and state statutory provisions prohibiting sexual harassment, (b) the state statutory definition of sexual harassment, (c) conduct that may constitute sexual harassment, (d) remedies available in sexual harassment cases, (e) the possible civil and criminal penalties for individuals who commit acts of sexual harassment, and (f) strategies to prevent sexual harassment.   For more information about this client advisory, including information on Connecticut sexual harassment training seminars or arranging on-site training, please contact Jason D’Cruz at rjd@mmmlaw.com, or any member of the Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP Employment Group.
