Bill overview
The Workplace Know Your Rights Act requires California employers to provide written notices to both current and new employees outlining their key worker rights and constitutional protections. The law mandates the creation of a standardized notice template by the Labor Commissioner, along with accompanying videos for employees and employers. Employers must also establish a system for designating emergency contacts and notify them if an employee is arrested or detained, subject to certain limitations. Finally, the law prohibits retaliation against employees for exercising their rights and establishes penalties for violations.
