  • The California Labor Commissioner will publish a stand-alone notice template by January 1, 2026 for employers to use in, and will update the notice must annually.By July 1, California Labor Commissioner will publish a video that informs employees of their rights (in English and Spanish), and a separate video informing employers of their responsibilities. Employers should prepare to comply with the new requirements and monitor the California Labor Commissioner’s Office website for the notice and videos from the Labor Commissioner.
  • By March 30, 2026, employers must allow current employees, and new employees upon hire, to designate an emergency contact in case of arrest or detention at work. HR manager must update employee records.
  • Employers who violate the Act face civil penalties of $500 per employee, per violation. Specifically for violations of the emergency contact requirements, employers face civil penalties of $500 per employee for each day the violation occurs, up to a maximum of $10,000 per employee.
