The Labor Commissioner prepared the form for use. 

Employers are required to provide the notice at the time of hire in the language the employer normally uses to communicate employment-related information.

The notice contains an acknowledgment of receipt for the employee to sign. According to the Labor Commissioner, the notice can be given electronically, but the employer must maintain a system where the worker can acknowledge the receipt of the notice and print out a copy of the notice.

The Labor Commissioner also has created a set of guidelines and FAQs.

Some employees are not covered by the written notice requirement. These employees include:

• Employees exempt from the payment of overtime wages by statute or wage order;
• Employees of the state or any political subdivision;
• Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement if the agreement expressly  provides for the wages, hours of work and working conditions of the employee, and if the agreement provides premium wage rates for all overtime hours worked and a regular hourly rate of pay for those employees of not less than 30% more than the state minimum wage.
