Wage Discrimination and New Wage Transparency Requirements in CaliforniaAt Sanford A. Kassel, A Professional Law Corporation, we specialize in representing employees in employment law matters, including wage discrimination and wage transparency requirements. This article will discuss the amended provisions under Labor Code Section 432.3 and Government Code Section 12999 that regulate these requirements for employers in the San Bernardino Riverside Inland Empire region.

Understanding Labor Code Section 432.3

Effective January 1, 2023, Labor Code Section 432.3 imposes new wage transparency requirements on employers of 15 or more employees. Employers must make salary ranges for positions available to applicants and employees and include the pay scale for the position in any job posting.

Understanding Government Code Section 12999

Government Code Section 12999 has been amended to expand the pay data reporting obligations of private employers with 100 or more employees. These employers are now required to submit a pay data report to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) that includes the number of employees by race, ethnicity, and sex in various job categories.
