California Employer 2026 Compliance Countdown: the new Workplace Know Your Rights Act

Every year, California adds new layers to what employers must tell their employees — posters, handouts, policy updates, and now, entire rights summaries. What started as simple break-room postings has grown into a detailed framework of annual written notices, language-specific communication, and even constitutional rights education under the new Workplace Know Your Rights Act (SB 294).

Anthony walks through key 2026 deadlines for employers to implement the notice, what employers need to include, how to deliver the notice. Anthony also discusses other updates, such as Cal-WARN’s disclosure updates and emergency contact requirements fit into this bigger compliance story.
