In our last posting we told you about California's new Wage Theft Prevention Act that took effect January 1, 2012. The new law requires employers to provide new employees, upon hire, with a written disclosure regarding wages and other matters.
The California Labor Commissioner has now prepared a template that employers may use to comply with the notice requirement. The template is available online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/LC_2810.5_Notice.doc. The Labor Commissioner will issue more guidance on this new law so we will keep you informed.
Employers should note that the new disclosure is not required for new hires who: 1) are directly employed by the state or any political subdivision, 2) are exempt from the payment of overtime wages by statute or wage order, or 3) are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expressly provides for wages, hours of work and working conditions, and provides for premium wage rates for all overtime worked.
