EmploymentQuestion 35 of 1632

Which document must every California employer provide to new employees at time of hire?

a.A written Wage Theft Prevention Act notice, at hire
b.A copy of the employee handbook, where one exists
c.The workers' comp policy, not just the carrier name
d.An OSHA 300 log of last year's recordable injuries

Explanation

Labor Code §2810.5(a) requires every employer to give each nonexempt employee, at the time of hiring, a written notice - the Wage Theft Prevention Act notice - stating the rate or rates of pay and the basis, any allowances, the regular payday, the employer's name and addresses, and the workers' compensation carrier. What goes on the notice is the carrier's name and contact details, not the policy document itself. An employee handbook is not required by law at all, whatever an employer chooses to publish. And the Cal/OSHA 300 log records injuries for the year: its annual summary is posted from February 1 through April 30, not handed to new hires.

Law Reference: Labor Code §2810.5(a)
