Beginning February 1, 2026, all California employers must provide to all new hires and each existing employee on an annual basis written notice of employee’s workplace and constitutional rights. Prompted by the recent enforcement actions by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel in California, the notice specifies that labor laws apply to all workers in the state regardless of immigration status. It also requires employers to request from employees a designated emergency contact and to indicate whether that contact should be notified if the employee is arrested or detained at the workplace, Cal. Labor Code § 1555. Additionally, the notice includes an anti-retaliation clause to protect employees from being retaliated against based on their immigration status.
