PADHR Training FAQ

If you have a question about the PADHR training that is not answered in this FAQ, please contact us at PADHR@virginia.edu or 434-924-3200. We will continue to update FAQ information as we address additional questions or issues.

Why is the Preventing and Addressing Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation ("PADHR") training required?

Ensuring that every employee understands their rights and responsibilities with respect to discrimination, harassment, and retaliation is of vital importance to the University. 

University policy also requires this training. The Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights ("EOCR") is responsible for ensuring that the University community receives instruction in support of institutional efforts to prevent and address discrimination, harassment, and retaliation (implementing the HRM-009: Preventing and Addressing Discrimination and Harassment and HRM-010: Preventing and Addressing Retaliation policies).

Who is required to take the PADHR training?

University policies related to non-discrimination, anti-harassment, and anti-retaliation (HRM-009 & HRM-010) apply to all employees of the University, the University Medical Center, and the University College at Wise. This means that all faculty and staff, wage, faculty wage, temporary employees, and students employees, including graduate teaching and research assistants, are required to complete the training.

If you are uncertain whether you are required to complete the training, please email PADHR@virginia.edu or call 434-924-3200.

Please note that sexual and gender-based harassment is covered by the University’s HRM-041: Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence ("Sexual Misconduct Policy"). A separate online training module administered by the Title IX & Sexual Misconduct team addresses these forms of harassment.  Please contact the Title IX & Sexual Misconduct team at 434-297-7988 or titleixcoordinator@virginia.edu for additional information.

Am I considered a supervisor under Preventing and Addressing Discrimination and Harassment & Preventing and Addressing Retaliation policies?

Under HRM-009 and HRM-010, a supervisor is any person who has authority to:

  • undertake or recommend tangible employment decisions (e.g., hiring, firing, and promoting) affecting an employee;
  • undertake or recommend academic decisions affecting a student; or
  • direct a student’s academic activities.

The following individuals are also considered supervisors:

  • faculty members who teach a course or to whom work-study students report; and
  • undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants who are responsible for grading course assignments, projects, quizzes, exams, or other coursework.

If you are uncertain which training to complete, please email PADHR@virginia.edu or call 434-924-3200.

How often am I required to complete this training?

Typically, once every two years.  However, circumstances may arise where a faculty or staff member may be asked to retake this training or participate in additional in-person PADHR training.

How do I access the online PADHR training?

You may access the online PADHR training in Workday by typing "Preventing and Addressing Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation" in the search box.

Who should I contact if I have questions about the PADHR training?

For content or policy questions, please contact EOCR at PADHR@virginia.edu or 434-924-3200.

Is PADHR training the same as the Title IX Not on Our Grounds - Responsible Employee training?

No. PADHR training is separate from the online Not on Our Grounds - Responsible Employee training module, and covers different topics.  Therefore, completion of the Responsible Employee training does not satisfy the PADHR training requirement.  For questions about the Responsible Employee training or HRM-041: Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence (‘Sexual Misconduct Policy”), please contact the Title IX & Sexual Misconduct team at titleixcoordinator@virginia.edu or 434-297-7988.

I do not have a NetBadge account. How do I get one?

Access to training requires that you have an active NetBadge account. If you need to create a NetBadge account, please contact Information Technology Services (“ITS”) at 434-924-4357 or visit the ITS website for more information: http://its.virginia.edu/accounts/createacct.html.

I have entered my NetBadge information, but NetBadge does not appear to be working. Why won't the PADHR training launch for me?

For NetBadge troubleshooting tips, please visit the website: http://its.virginia.edu/netbadge/faq.html, or call 434-924-4357.  If you have successfully entered your NetBadge information, but the training does not launch, please contact EOCR at PADHR@virginia.edu or 434-924-3200.

I took the training, but the system hasn't logged a completion. Why?

In order for the system to record a completion, you must advance through each slide/page of the training, submit a response to each question, and when appropriate, actively click on the link to read the applicable UVA policy.

Will the system keep track of my progress if I can't complete all of the training at once?

You may begin the training and stop at any point. While in the training, you may use the menu on the left side of your screen to return to previous sections for review. A check mark means that you have completed that page.

Who should I contact if I have issues accessing the online PADHR training due to a disability?

Please contact EOCR at PADHR@virginia.edu or 434-924-3200.
