Supporters of the bill and pay equity advocates have argued that salary transparency can help eliminate pay gaps.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed Senate Bill 1162, Santa Barbara Sen. Monique Limόn’s legislation that requires companies with at least 15 employees to list a salary or hourly wage range for each job listing.
Although the vast majority of employers in the state – about 86% of California’s 1.2 million firms – have fewer than 10 employees, more than 76% of California employees worked for companies with at least 20 workers in the third quarter of last year, according to the state’s most recent employment data. The same was true for almost 75% of workers in San Francisco and San Mateo counties.
Colorado is the only state currently requiring employers to list salaries in job postings, and Washington will start next year. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has similar legislation on her desk awaiting signature, while New York City will require salary ranges on all job postings beginning in November.
