New required workplace rights notice in California
Beginning Feb. 1, California employers will have to provide stand-alone written notice to their employees about their workplace rights. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the Workplace Know Your Rights Act into law recently. Beginning Feb. 1, and annually thereafter, employers will have to provide stand-alone written notice to their employees describing the employees’:
- right to workers’ compensation benefits for work-related injuries or illness;
- right to notice of inspection of the worksite or work records by immigration authorities;
- right to protection against immigration-related practices against a person for exercising rights;
- right to organize a union or, in unionized and non-unionized workplaces alike, to engage in concerted activity to improve wages, hours and working conditions; and
- constitutional rights when interacting with law enforcement, including the rights to due process and against self-incrimination.
