For California janitorial clients: In California, janitorial employers are required to register with the Labor Commissioner’s office as well as provide workers with sexual harassment prevention training every two years. Hiring an unregistered contractor can result in fines up to $10,000 for the first violation and up to $25,000 for subsequent violations. Clients can use the online registration search tool to find out if a janitorial contractor is registered with the state.
