Know Your Rights Notice

This guide from the California Department of Industrial Relations clarifies that all workers in the state, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to basic labor protections like fair wages and a safe workplace. It highlights that it is strictly illegal for employers to retaliate against you for exercising these rights, such as by threatening your immigration status or cutting your hours. The document also covers your constitutional rights during interactions with law enforcement, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse searches without a judicial warrant. Finally, it provides a handy directory of state and federal agencies you can contact if you feel your rights have been violated.
