California COVID-19 Notice Requirement Changes

California will maintain certain COVID-19 notification rules while relaxing others. What specifically changed, and what habits should you continue practicing? 

Until recently, if there was a verified COVID-19 case, employers had to publish a notice where all employees could see it or you could alternatively, send individual notices to every employee who was on the property during the employee's infectious period. This requirement ended on January 1, 2024.

However, the Cal/OSHA notice requirements will still be in force until February 2025, even if the statutory notice responsibilities ended on January 1. This means you are still required to notify workers and independent contractors who had close contact as quickly as feasible and to give information to workers about benefits relating to COVID-19.
