Pay Transparency/Pay Data Disclosure and Job Listing Information SB 1162 Labor Code section 432.3
Here are some of the most important updates:
- This applies to all California employers with 15 or more employees AND Employers NATIONWIDE with ONE or more employees in California. It requires applicable employers to include the pay scale for a position in any job posting.
- The pay scale is “the salary or hourly wage range the employer reasonably expects to pay for a position”. This means you do not need to disclose your full pay scale, just the range you “reasonably expect to pay for the position.”
- “Tangible benefits provided in addition to a salary or hourly wage are not required to be posted.”
- “If an employer with 15 or more employees engages a third party to announce, post, publish or otherwise make known a job posting it must provide the pay scale to the third party and the third party must include it within the job posting.”
- “the pay scale must be included within the job posting if the position may be filled in California, either in-person or remotely.”
- “pay scale shall be included within the posting.” This means no links to the pay scale, no QR codes, etc.
- If an employee wants to see the pay scale for their position you are required to share it with them.
