Summary

The Workplace Know Your Rights Act obligates California employers to provide each employee a stand‑alone written notice of key labor and constitutional rights, and to collect emergency‑contact information. It also bans retaliation for exercising those rights and sets civil penalties for violations. The law aims to improve worker awareness and protection, especially around immigration enforcement and law‑enforcement interactions.
