The California Division of Labor Standards & Enforcement (“DLSE”) has published additional FAQs regarding California’s new Paid Sick Leave law. These FAQs, dated January 2015, can be found here. Below is a summary of the DLSE’s FAQs:
- The Wage Theft Prevention Act Notice (“Notice”): The new Paid Sick Leave law is clear that employees hired after January 1, 2015 are to be provided the State’s new Notice pursuant to Cal. Labor Code section 2810.5 at the time of hire. Linked here is the State’s template Notice. However, the law is unclear as to whether employers must issue the new notice to employees hired pre-January 1, 2015. The supplemental FAQs address this issue as follows:
- If the employer changes or institutes a new Paid Sick Leave policy, then employers must provide to employees hired prior to January 1, 2015 a new Notice within seven days of the change, or alternatively, provide individual notice to such employees using an alternative authorized method. The FAQs do not specifically address what an authorized alternative method is.
