(2) The written policy document shall be provided in an employee's primary language within the first calendar week of that employee's employment.
(c) Every employer shall require its employees to participate in the trainings and time requirements required by Section 6-10-040(b)(1)(C). For the annual required sexual harassment prevention training, an employer may use the model sexual harassment prevention training program prepared by the State of Illinois required under 775 ILCS 5/2-109, or may establish its own sexual harassment prevention training program that equals or exceeds the minimum standards set in 775 ILCS 5/2-109(B).
(d) Every employer shall conspicuously display in at least one location where employees commonly gather posters designed by the Commission about the prohibitions on sexual harassment. The employer shall display at least one poster in English and one poster in Spanish.
(e) Each employer shall maintain for at least five years, or for the duration of any claim, civil action, or investigation pending pursuant to this section, whichever is longer, a record of the employer's written policy document prohibiting sexual harassment and trainings given to each employee, and records necessary to demonstrate compliance with this chapter. Failure to maintain these records shall create a presumption, rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence, that the Employer violated this Section 6-10-040.
(f) Any person who violates subsections (b), (c), or (d) of this section shall be subject to a fine of not less than $500.00 nor more than $1,000.00 for each offense. Every day that a violation shall continue shall constitute a separate and distinct offense.
