If you are not displaying the required employment notice poster that includes the $9.00 state minimum wage effective July 1, 2014, act now.

Mandatory changes to required Workers’ Compensation and Paid Family Leave pamphlets also take effect on that date. By law, employers must post and hand out the most current employment notices, even if you only have one employee in California. Not informing employees of their rights in the workplace can result in costly lawsuits and fines, especially for small businesses where the costs of defense can be punitive.

Please contact Karen or Eric at our Walnut Creek office if you need assistance acquiring these mandatory posters.
