California’s pay data reporting law, originally enacted in 2020, requires private employers with one hundred or more employees to file annual pay data reports with the CRD. The law was amended in 2022 with the enactment of Senate Bill (SB) 1162. Among other requirements, the amended law obligates covered employers to report median and mean hourly rates within each job category for each combination of race, ethnicity, and sex. The amended law also added a requirement to report data regarding workers employed through labor contractors.
