In-House Seminars
COMBATING SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS

New York State has a new law which requires all employers in the State to adopt a sexual harassment prevention policy and to provide its employee(s) with sexual harassment prevention training. The law applies to any community associations (condominium, co-op and HOA) that have at least one employee, including part time employees. The written policy must be established and distributed to all employees immediately. The training must be provided by October 9, 2019, and annually thereafter.

This is the last chance for community association Boards to have their employees register for the mandatory Sexual Harassment Training sessions offered by our office on the following dates:

  • January 8, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.

  • January 16, 2019 at 11:00 a.m.

  • January 31, 2019 at 1:00 p.m.

This is also the last chance for Board members to register for the following seminars in our office to review the required Sexual Harassment Prevention policy, training and procedures. These are the following dates:

  • January 7, 2019 at 6:30 p.m.

  • January 15, 2019 at 6:30 p.m.

  • January 30, 2019 at 6:30 p.m.

To register for the employee or board member sessions, to ask us to prepare a Sexual Harassment Prevention policy for your community, or for any related inquiries, contact us at 631-265-5550 or info@taylor-eldridge.com




Firm Spotlight: Laura M. Endres, Esq.
I joined the Rotary Club of Smithtown four years ago as an avenue for community service, and along the way I found an amazing group of new friends. Our Club, on a local level, is dedicated to fighting the heroin epidemic on Long Island, working with veterans and fostering literacy. On the international level, our Club joins with thousands of other Rotary Clubs across the country and around the world to eliminate polio, bring fresh water to those in need and peace to the world.

As Rotarians, we try to abide by what we call the Four-Way Test.

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships.



PAWS FOR THOUGHT
Community association board members may squawk at the idea of allowing pets in their no-pet community, or at making communities more pet friendly, but instituting such changes should not necessarily be a concern. Rather, boards may want to consider implementing changes to make their communities pet friendly to accommodate the growing pet owning population. In keeping with this trend, many community associations are creating amenities for pets, as well as imposing reasonable and workable restrictions on pets and their owners.
