§ 88168 Employee Classification Disclosure Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •When you start a new job or your job role changes, your boss must give you two papers with your job details, pay info, work hours, and work location.
  • •You keep one paper, sign and date the other, and give it back to your boss.
  • •This rule doesn’t apply to short-term or temporary workers.
  • •This rule is for places that use a special system called the 'merit system' for hiring and promotions.

Example

You get hired as a janitor at a school. After a year, you get promoted to head janitor.

When you first start as a janitor, your boss gives you two papers with your job details, like what you’ll do, how much you’ll get paid, and your work hours. You keep one and sign the other to give back. The same thing happens again when you become head janitor because your job role changed.

The salary data shall include the annual, monthly or pay period, daily, hourly, overtime and differential rate of compensation, whichever are applicable. One copy shall be retained by the employee and the other copy shall be signed and dated by the employee and returned to his or her supervisor. This section shall not apply to short-term, limited-term, or provisional employees, as those terms are defined in this chapter. This section shall apply to districts that have adopted the merit system in the same manner and effect as if it were a part of Article 3 (commencing with Section 88060).
