Every California business and establishment must post 18 employment notices to ensure their employees are aware of their rights in the workplace, plus an industry-specific wage order. And that’s not all; certain businesses must post additional industry-related or locality-specific posters. California employers need to make sure they’re ready for 2025, as certain mandatory posters have been updated — and CalChamber can help!
For 2025, California employers must update their:
- California Minimum Wage notice (on January 1, 2025, California’s minimum wage will increase to $16.50 per hours).
- California Law Prohibits Workplace Discrimination and Harassment (updates include a new law that clarifies discrimination can also be based on any combination of protected characteristics).
- DWC Notice to Employees — Injuries Caused by Work notice (updated to inform injured workers that they may consult a licensed attorney and, in most instances, the attorney’s fees will be paid of what they recover from their workers’ compensation claims).
- Family Care & Medical Leave & Pregnancy Disability Leave (includes minor revisions from the California Civil Rights Department).
- Whistleblowers Are Protected (the California Labor Commissioner must develop a model notice that otherwise complies with existing requirements so employers posting this model poster will be deemed in compliance with the law)
- Wage Order posters (which will reflect increases to minimum wage as well as meal and lodging rates effective January 1, 2025).
CalChamber’s 2025 California and Federal Labor Law poster makes it easy for employers with a 28” x 46” all-in-one poster — just unfold and hang! CalChamber also offers updated industry-specific wage order poster, which combines multiple pages of an industry-specific Wage Order into another easy-to-hang poster. Our free Wage Order Wizard helps you determine which of the 17 California Wage Orders you need to post, as you may need more than one based on your company.
Additionally, certain businesses must post additional posters related to their industry. For example, fast food restaurants and health care facilities need to post their supplemental posters in addition to all the above. Or, skip the hassle of the supplemental poster, and get everything you need in an industry-specific all-in one poster, which includes all 18 mandatory employment notices and your required supplemental notice.
Finally, employers should also check if the localities where their employees perform work updated their required postings. With so many local minimum wage increases starting January 1, 2025, many local labor law posters need to be updated — like San Diego city, West Hollywood and more.
Be sure to display a poster in each business location and jobsite where employees can easily see and read it. In addition to the English poster, you’ll need a Spanish version if you have Spanish-speaking employees. If 10 percent or more of your workforce speaks another language, you’ll need a poster in that language too.
CalChamber monitors mandatory updates throughout the year — and our direct contact with state agencies enhances our ability to provide accurate, up-to-date employment and labor law notices. Plus, our CalChamber Preferred members and above receive their 20 percent year-round discount on posters.
