California employers will be required to post salaries for job listings under new law
Employers in California will have to post salaries for job listings under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
This week, Newsom signed Senate Bill 1162 as part of a statewide effort to promote pay equity. The bill requires companies with 15 or more workers to include pay scales in job postings and provide them to employees upon request.
Fines can be imposed for failing to submit demographic pay data to the state.
California will now be in line with states such as Washington, Colorado and Connecticut -- all of which have passed similar wage-transparency laws in recent months, according to a report from the L.A. Times.
The law will take effect on Jan. 1.

This is only a good thing, as it will force businesses to pay market rate. Salaries being published will set the market rate. Good all around.

Pass it everywhere. It’s the biggest pain in my ass when hiring people. Just tell them up front so there isn’t this whole game of trying to figure the other person out. Stop wasting everyone’s time!
