New 2026 workplace law, SB 294: Workplace know your rights act

Did you know? By February 1, 2026, California employers must provide employees with a mandatory workplace rights notice under SB 294, the Workplace Know Your Rights Act. Failing to comply can expose employers to penalties and enforcement actions.

Please join UNITE-LA and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) for a practical, employer-focused webinar featuring a live attorney. Designed for small business owners, managers, and HR professionals, this session will answer your questions and clearly explain what the notice must include, key deadlines, and how to stay compliant, in plain language for busy employers.

The required notice must cover:

• Immigration-related protections, including I-9 inspection notice rights and protection from discrimination or retaliation
• Employee rights in the workplace, including constitutional protections and the right to organize without retaliation
• Workers’ compensation coverage for work-related injuries and illnesses
• New employee rights and relevant enforcement agencies
