Bill > SB464

This bill amends California's existing pay data reporting requirements by introducing several key changes. For private employers with 100 or more employees, the bill requires that any demographic information collected be stored separately from personnel records and mandates separate pay data reporting for employees hired through labor contractors. While the bill originally proposed to include sexual orientation in reporting demographics, the final version removes this requirement. The bill strengthens enforcement by mandating that courts impose civil penalties on employers who fail to file required reports when requested by the Civil Rights Department. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision requiring public employers with 100 or more employees to submit annual pay data reports starting in May 2027, which will include demographic data about employees organized by job category, such as ethnicity, race, disability, veteran status, and gender. The legislation also includes confidentiality protections, ensuring that individually identifiable information remains private and is not subject to public disclosure. The bill aims to enhance transparency in workplace demographics and pay equity while protecting individual employee privacy.
