What posters must California employers update annually to stay compliant?
</h3>
<p class="text-sm font-Bevietnampro font-normal text-[#363941] leading-6 pb-2">The poster that changes most consistently is the Minimum Wage Notice, updated every January 1 and adjusted again for certain industries such as fast food and healthcare. Employers also need updated versions of the Workers Compensation Notice, CFRA Family Care and Medical Leave Notice, Paid Sick Leave Notice, Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Notices, Unemployment Insurance Notice, and various OSHA and safety postings whenever state or federal agencies revise their requirements. Other notices, including whistleblower protections, payday requirements, and federal postings such as EEOC and USERRA, must also be replaced when laws change.

<p class="text-sm font-Bevietnampro font-normal text-[#363941] leading-6 pb-2">Most California workplaces will need two to three poster updates each year.
