State Required Pay Transparency for Diversity, Equality & Inclusion

What is happening? California has enacted SB1162 (2022 | CA) that makes position pay scales public and require employers to report employee & contractor demographics and pay to the State.

Why is this important? Public pay scales isn’t unheard of- Colorado, Washington, and NYC require it.

How will this be important? The policy goal is to address pay equity which some say women with children get paid on average 58 cents for every $1 a similarly situated man does.
