Existing law prohibits employers from making, adopting, or enforcing a policy that prevents an employee from disclosing violations of a state or federal statute, or a violation or noncompliance with a local, state, or federal regulation to, among others, a government or law enforcement agency, or from retaliating against an employee who makes a disclosure. Existing law requires an employer to prominently display a list of employees' rights and responsibilities under the whistleblower laws, as prescribed. Existing law creates the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement within the Department of Industrial Relations and vests the division with the general duty of enforcing labor laws. Existing law provides that the Labor Commissioner is the Chief of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. This bill would require the Labor Commissioner to develop a model list of employees' rights and responsibilities under the whistleblower laws, as specified. The bill would specify that an employer that posts the model list shall be deemed in compliance with the above-described requirement to prominently display the list of employees' rights and responsibilities under the whistleblower laws.
