No Fear Act (federal agencies)
Why Train on This Topic?
Federal Agencies Must Train All Employees by December 17, 2006
The No FEAR Act requires federal agencies to train all employees
on their rights and remedies under the federal antidiscrimination,
retaliation, and whistleblower protection laws. On July 20, 2006, the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) published the final rule
implementing the training requirements of the No FEAR Act. The final
rule states that agencies must:
- Train all current employees by December 17, 2006
- Train all new employees within 90 days of hire
- Provide refresher training to all employees every two years
