Attorney General Becerra Issues Advisory Providing Guidance on the Privacy Requireme... Page 2 of 5

Becerra and Labor Commissioner Julie Su also issued joint
guidance on frequently asked questions to help employers and workers
understand and comply with the new state law.
The Attorney General’s advisory explains to employers that under state law they
cannot voluntarily grant immigration enforcement agents physical access to
nonpublic areas of the worksite or to private employee records. 
“The Immigrant Worker Protection Act seeks first and foremost to protect
Californians' privacy at the workplace. The advisory and guidance released today
are important tools to help workers and employers feel more secure, by
educating them about their rights and responsibilities under the law,”
said Attorney General Becerra. “Everyone has an obligation to follow the law,
whether it’s the Constitution, federal, or state law. AB 450 works in concert, not
in conflict, with our Constitution and federal laws. Today's advisory and guidance
aim to illustrate that.  My office will work to ensure businesses have the
appropriate guidance to protect both employers’ and employees’ privacy rights.”
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of
deportation,” said Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco).  “AB 450
was meant to not only give protections to California workers but also to ensure
employers know what to do if immigration officials visit their workplaces.  Thank
you to Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Labor Commissioner Julie Su for
quickly issuing guidelines so employers understand their rights and
responsibilities under this law.”

Under the Immigrant Worker Protection Act, employers are required to notify all
employees of inspections of their employment records by federal immigration
agencies within 72 hours of receiving a federal notice of inspection. The
employer’s notifications must be available in the language the employer
normally uses to communicate employment information.
