Know Your Rights Notice Package (SB 294)
Labor Code § 2810.5 (SB 294)
SB 294 requires California employers to provide a written "Know Your Rights" notice to all employees at least once per year. This package includes the compliant notice template, employee acknowledgment form, emergency contact form, distribution log, and Spanish-language bonus.
This tool took 40+ hours of California labor law research to build.
If it saves your business time or protects you from a PAGA claim, a voluntary contribution of $49 keeps it free for the next small business owner. Used by 47 CA businesses this month.
What's included
SB 294-Compliant Notice Template
A fillable, print-ready notice document covering all 13 required workers' rights under SB 294: minimum wage, overtime, meal/rest breaks, paid sick leave (SB 616), workers' compensation, safety reporting rights, union rights, FEHA protections, pregnancy/disability accommodation, CFRA/FMLA leave, personnel file access (SB 513), wage theft protections, and anti-retaliation rights. Available in Word and PDF formats.
Employee Acknowledgment & Signature Form
A separate acknowledgment form employees sign (or electronically confirm) to prove they received the annual Know Your Rights notice. Includes fields for employee name, date received, delivery method, and employee signature. DLSE-defensible design — meets the recordkeeping requirement under SB 294.
Emergency Contact Designation Form
The emergency contact form required under SB 294's often-overlooked provision. Employees designate a contact person's name, phone number, and relationship. Includes a decline option for employees who choose not to provide this information. Required to be offered annually alongside the notice.
Distribution Log & Annual Checklist
A distribution tracking log to record which employees received the notice, when, and by what method (paper, email, or portal). Includes an annual distribution checklist with key deadlines and reminders. Satisfies the SB 294 recordkeeping requirement and demonstrates good-faith compliance in a DLSE audit.
Spanish-Language Notice Template (Bonus)
A Spanish-language translation of the complete SB 294 Know Your Rights notice. California's workforce is linguistically diverse — distributing the notice in employees' primary language strengthens compliance and demonstrates good faith. Included at no additional cost.
