What must all employees receive upon hire?

• A. A copy of the company safety manual
• B. Payroll deduction authorization form
• C. A copy of the DFEH pamphlet (or equivalent) and a copy of the employer's anti-harassment policy
• D. A copy of the California Wage Order

Answer: (C)

When a new employee starts, they need to know both their rights and how the employer handles harassment and discrimination. Providing a copy of the DFEH pamphlet (or its equivalent) alongside the employer’s anti-harassment policy makes sure the employee understands protections under California law and the specific steps the company will take if a concern arises. The DFEH pamphlet informs employees about unlawful harassment and discrimination and how to file a complaint with the state agency, which empowers them to recognize issues and seek help. The employer’s anti-harassment policy spells out the company’s own rules, reporting channels, investigation process, and potential consequences, so there is a clear, internal framework for addressing problems. Giving both documents on hire sets expectations from day one and supports a compliant, respectful workplace. Other items aren’t universally required at hire. A safety manual may be provided for safety training, but it isn’t mandated simply upon hire in all cases. A payroll deduction authorization form depends on whether the employee elects to have deductions. The California Wage Order governs pay and conditions, but providing a copy to every new hire isn’t the standard requirement in the same way as the DFEH pamphlet and anti-harassment policy.
