Business owners with employees needing to complete the Illinois State required Sexual Harassment training can now send them to a classroom seminar hosted by the Chamber and facilitated by Martin Parsons with Legal Advocacy Headquarters in Carterville.

All attendees must participate in the general hour-long training session moderated by attorney Martin Parsons, Legal Advocacy Headquarters. Attendees will receive a certificate of completion for their employee file. Employees in the restaurant/bar industry will stay for additional training and certification.

Restaurants and bars are required to provide supplemental sexual harassment prevention training that complies with Section 2-110 of the IHRA. Illinois restaurants and bars must either develop their own supplemental training or utilize the model training provided by the IDHR.
