Under Labor Code §2810.5, at the time of hiring a nonexempt employee, the employer must provide a written notice stating:
Explanation
Labor Code §2810.5(a)(1) requires that a non-exempt employee receive at hire a written notice of the rate or rates of pay and the basis, any allowances claimed for meals or lodging, the regular payday, the employer's legal name and any 'doing business as' names, the physical and mailing address of the main office, the telephone number, and the workers' compensation carrier's name, address and phone. (a) is the closest wrong answer, because a performance discussion genuinely does happen at hire - it is simply not what §2810.5 requires, and the section is about pay terms the worker can later hold the employer to. (b) and (d) are not disclosures any statute requires. A change to any listed item requires written notice within seven days.
