Consistent with legislation enacted in 2025, employers must provide employees with a Workplace Know Your Rights Act Notice on or before February 1, 2026. The Labor Commissioner has now published the template notice, which is available in both English and Spanish for employers to distribute. Additional languages will be added in the future. Employers must also provide employees with an opportunity, on or before March 30, 2026, to designate an emergency contact and to indicate whether that contact should be notified in the case of an arrest or detention while working and/or at the worksite.
