SB 1162 signed into law
On Sept. 27, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 1162 into law. A recent Law at Work column addressed that measure. No later than the second Wednesday in May starting in 2023, California employers with 100 or more employees will have to submit detailed data about their workforces to the California Civil Rights Department.
The report must include, among other things, the number of employees by race, ethnicity, and sex in each of 10 job categories, including high-level executives and managers; middle management; professionals; administrative support workers; and service workers. Within each job category, and for each combination of race, ethnicity, and sex, the report must include median and mean hourly pay rate.
Natallie Rocha reported in the Union-Tribune that Phil Blair, co-owner of staffing firm Manpower of San Diego, hopes state regulators issue guidance about how the state plans to use the data. That will help businesses correctly complete what Blair expects to be burdensome paperwork.
Effective Jan. 1, SB 1162 also will require all employers, upon request, to provide all applicants with the pay scale for the job. And all employers with 15 or more employees will have to include the pay scale in any job posting, including postings on online jobs platforms. Employers should start planning now.
