Employers in California will have to post salaries for job listings under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The law takes effect on Jan. 1.
The new California law imposes penalties on employers for failing to report pay scales data to the state."Transparency is key, but so is accountability," said Joanna Kim-Brunetti, chief legal officer and EVP of regulatory affairs for Trusaic, a workplace equity software provider."This penalty provision will ensure compliance and, with that, accountability.
. Employers oppose the growing movement, saying they are proponents of pay transparency and equity but don’t agree with how states and cities are going about it., saying it would encourage more lawsuits against businesses and make hiring “more burdensome.” "The additional burdens and costs this proposal would create will limit an employer’s ability to offer higher wages and benefits to new or existing employees and discourage growth or expansion in California," the Chamber of Commerce wrote in a letter to Newsom.More Asian Americans are calling out the racism they experience at work
Michelle Holder, a labor economist whose research focuses on the Black community and women of color, says she expects more states and localities to embrace initiatives addressing pay disparity. “It’s obviously gaining traction,” Holder told USA TODAY in February. “I am hopeful this momentum continues at the local and state levels, and perhaps works its way up to the federal level at some point.”
