California and the federal government require employers to distribute or post numerous notices on workplace laws and complaint procedures.

The following mandatory state and federal notices have been updated effective January 1, 2023:

• California Minimum Wage (reflecting the $15.50 minimum wage increase);
• 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 (formerly “EEO is the Law”);
• Your Rights Under USERRA; and
• Safety and Health Protection on the Job (new hotline number)

Although California employers may email the required notices to remote workers, they must also physically display these posters in the workplace, including a remote workspace where an employee works 100% of the time.

Employers may purchase required notices from the California Chamber of Commerce.  As these are subject to legislative or regulatory updates, please always confirm the use of the most recent versions.

We also provide a more comprehensive list of such state and federal forms, pamphlets, and notices as part of our California hire-to-fire employment forms package.
