Starting January 1, 2023, eight (8) out of the eighteen (18) various notices and two (2) pamphlets required to be provided by California employers will be updated. The eight (8) updated notices are:
- California Minimum Wage;
- Family Care and Medical Leave and Pregnancy Disability Leave;
- Your Rights and Obligations as a Pregnant Employee;
- California Law Prohibits Workplace Discrimination and Harassment;
- Transgender Rights in the Workplace;
- Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal;
- Your Rights Under USERRA; and
- Safety and Health Protection on the Job (Cal/OSHA).
The two (2) required updated pamphlets are:
- Unemployment Insurance; and
- Sexual Harassment.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has already released its updated “Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal” poster and the other updated posters should be released by December 31, 2022.
Since these notices and pamphlets are mandatory, California employers should make sure they have updated versions by the January 1, 2023, deadline. Even fully remote employees must receive copies of these required postings and pamphlets.
More information can be found on the websites for the California Department of Industrial Relations, California Civil Rights Department, Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If you have any questions,
check with your company’s legal counsel.
The information presented is not intended to be, and does not constitute, “legal advice.” Because each situation varies, and only brief summary information is provided here, you should not use this information as a basis for action unless you have independently verified with your own counsel that it applies to your particular situation.
