Bill overview
This bill updates California law regarding how employers share pay scales with job applicants and employees. It clarifies that a ‘pay scale’ is an estimated wage range, not a fixed salary, and requires employers to include this range in job postings for companies with 15 or more employees. The bill also prohibits employers from paying employees less than the rate paid to employees of the opposite sex, strengthening existing equal pay protections and extending the time frame for filing wage discrimination claims.
