Attention CA Employees & Employers
Yesterday, Gov. Newsom signed SB 1162 into law requiring CA employers to disclose how much they pay employees and contractors.
Under the new law, employers with 15+ workers are required to include pay ranges in job postings, and those with 100+ employees/contractors will have to report the median and mean hourly pay rates to the California Civil Rights Department (CRD, formerly DFEH), by job category as well as race, ethnicity, and sex data.
The signing of SB 1162 makes California the largest state that requires the affirmative disclosure of pay scale information.
Importantly, it also requires an employer, upon request, to provide to an employee the pay scale for the position in which the employee is currently employed.
“This is a big moment for California workers, especially women and people of color who have long been impacted by systemic inequities that have left them earning far less than their colleagues,” said state Sen. Monique Limón, and we couldn’t agree more.
