SB 1162 requires the disclosure of salary ranges on job listings
and expands pay data reporting requirements
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Tuesday the state’s pay transparency law (S.B. 1162), according to bill sponsor Sen. Monique Limon (D) and the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. The new law will require nearly 200,000 California companies with 15 or more employees to disclose pay starting next year.
The measures signed by the Governor include SB 1162 by Senator Monique Limόn (D-Santa Barbara), which requires employers to make salary ranges for positions available to applicants and employees and expands pay data reporting requirements to better identify gender and race-based pay disparities.
