As part of CDA’s ongoing efforts to support member-dentists in their roles as practice owners and California employers, new sets of required posters will be available at no cost in the spring of 2025. These easy-to-display poster sets contain the specific health, safety and employee rights information required by state and federal agencies. The posters must be displayed in a place highly visible to employees.
As a benefit of membership, CDA develops and distributes these dental-specific sets of required postings for dental offices. There is no cost for the first set; additional poster sets are available for purchase with member-only pricing.
CDA members are encouraged to sign in to My Account on cda.org to verify the correct and preferred mailing address and practice ownership information.
Eleven posters should be printed and posted now
To ensure members have postings that keep pace with the latest regulations, CDA’s compliance and employment experts regularly review the poster set and post updates online between printings. Until the 2025 poster sets are mailed, practice owners should print and post the following updated notices to the 2023-2024 set:
- Your Employee Rights Under the Family and Medical Leave Act(50+ employees)
- Federal Minimum Wage
- Employee Polygraph Protection Act
- Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal
- Healthy Workplaces/Healthy Families Act: California Paid Sick Leave
- California Law Prohibits Workplace Discrimination & Harassment
- Wages, Hours and Working Conditions in Professional, Clerical, Mechanical and Similar Occupations
- Safety and Health Protection on the Job
- California Minimum Wage
- Health Care Worker Supplemental Minimum Wage
- Notice to Employees–Injuries Caused by Work
Details on the Required Employment Poster Sets, including ordering information, links to posters that dental offices are required to display and summaries of the respective laws and posting requirements are available in one place on CDA’s website.
CDA’s compliance experts strongly encourage dentists to periodically review poster updates for any new or changed requirements. Displaying the current posters not only ensures regulatory compliance but also promotes transparency within the workplace.
