Authors’ note: As this article went to press, the Labor Commissioner issued 10 new FAQs, responding to questions employers have had regarding compliance with the Wage Theft Prevention Act. The additional FAQs discuss what it means to provide the notice at the time of hire and what information must be included on the new hire notice regarding rates of pay, overtime rates, prevailing wages and more. The full FAQs are available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQs-NoticeToEmployee.html.
On Jan. 1, California’s Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2011 (A.B. 469) took effect, requiring employers to provide written wage disclosures to certain new hires and employees. And with only two days to go in 2011, the California Labor Commissioner finally published a disclosure template and FAQs on the new law. While the guidance is welcome, it raises more questions about employers’ compliance obligations under the act than it answers.
