## [Labor Commissioner Releases Updated Wage Notice and FAQ](https://promotion-payroll-hr.pinnaclehro.com/human-resources-articles/bid/74287/Labor-Commissioner-Releases-Updated-Wage-Notice-and-FAQ)

Today is a big news day in the employment law world.

First, the California Supreme Court released its decision in *Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court *(check our blog post for a [summary](http://calchamber.typepad.com/hrwatchdog/2012/04/brinker-case-decided-.html)). Then, California's [Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE)](http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSE/dlse.html) released an updated wage and employment notice “Notice to Employee (Labor Code section 2810.5)” *and *a second update to its [FAQ](http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQs-NoticeToEmployee.html) on the wage and employment notice

As California employers know, the Wage Theft Protection Act of 2011 requires employers to provide nonexempt employees with a new notice at the time of hire that lists specified wage information. California employers struggled with putting the provisions of the law into effect.

The Labor Commissioner issued the first update to its “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Wage Theft Protection Act of 2011 - Notice to Employees” in late January to help answer questions from employers. The [second update to the FAQ](http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQs-NoticeToEmployee.html) revises several of the previous FAQs and also contains five additional questions and answers.

For new hires made after the posting of the updated template on the DLSE’s website, the newer posted version of the template must be used. The DLSE will archive any earlier template on its website for informational purposes.     

The updated wage and employment notice is available for download from HR Allen Consulting Services on our [forms page](https://promotion-payroll-hr.pinnaclehro.com/employment-forms/?hsLang=en-us). The English version is now available. The Spanish version of the form is being translated by the DLSE and will be posted to our website as soon as the form is available.
