Run: New York §201-g Sexual Harassment Training Addendum

This addendum establishes the company’s New York sexual harassment prevention training requirements under **New York Labor Law §201-g**. The policy holder must ensure that all covered workers complete **annual interactive training** and that completion is documented.
