On the morning of January 3, 2012, the Labor Commissioner changed the FAQs on this notice requirement to clarify that the notice does not need to be given to current employees except under certain circumstances. The Labor Commissioner did so by simply deleting the following sentence formerly in the answer to FAQ 2: “The notice should be given to all current employees and then to all new employees at the time of hire.”
Summary: As of January. 1, 2012, a new California law requires that employers provide a wage notice to non-exempt new hires, with few exceptions.
