State and federal regulatory agencies require that you provide each of your employees with these pamphlets explaining their rights in six important areas of employment law:
- Sexual Harassment
- Workers' Compensation Rights & Benefits
- State Disability Insurance
- Paid Family Leave
- Unemployment Insurance
- Survivors of Violence and Family Members of Victims Right to Leave and Accommodations
In one convenient kit, you get 20 each of the six required pamphlets to hand out to employees and a complimentary digital pdf of the NEW California Workplace – Know Your Rights notice. While you save over 20% buying the kit, you can order the pamphlets separately.
The digital notice, California Workplace – Know Your Rights contains information about several topics including workers’ compensation, immigration protections, the right to engage in concerted activity, and constitutional rights when interacting with law enforcement.
You may provide the notice to your employees by personal service or digitally (email or text message) if it can reasonably be anticipated that the employee will receive it within one business day of sending.
You must keep records of notice delivery for three years, including the date each written notice was sent.
California law requires you to provide the notice in the language you normally use to communicate employment-related information to your employees if the Labor Commissioner has published a template in that language. If the template is not available in that language, the notice may be provided in English.
Even if you employ only one person in California, you are required to post current employment notices and distribute certain pamphlets. Be sure to display a poster in each business location where employees can easily see and read it.
You’ll need both the English and Spanish kit versions if you also have Spanish-speaking employees.
When distributing these pamphlets, you’ll want to make sure you have the most current versions.
Remember, not informing employees of their rights in the workplace can result in lawsuits and fines.
