Last November, we notified you of California’s expansion of employer notice obligations related to the state’s domestic violence employee protections. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 2337, California employers of 25 or more employees are required to provide written notice to employees of their right to job protected leave for domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. The notice must be provided to each employee upon hire and at any time upon an employee’s request. Posting the notice will not satisfy your obligation to provide notice directly to your employees.
The California Labor Commissioner recently posted on its website a model notice of employee and employer rights and responsibilities. You may use the model notice to comply with your notice obligations, or you may use your own notice. If you choose not to use the Labor Commissioner's model notice, the written notice you provide your employees must be substantially similar in both content and clarity to the Labor Commissioner’s model notice.
Coverage: California employers with 25 or more employees.
Effective: July 1, 2017
