Pay transparency and salary history bans - California
Pay transparency
In California, employers must list the salary range on all job ads for roles that will or may be filled in California, including for jobs that can be done remotely from the state. No links or QR codes are allowed as a substitute. Employers also must provide this information to current employees upon request. The information need not include bonuses, commissions, tips, or other benefits. The law applies to employers with 15 or more workers with at least one employee in California.
Salary history
California employers may not ask for an applicant’s salary history orally or in writing. If an applicant voluntarily (without prompting) discloses salary history information, the employer is not prohibited from considering or relying on that data in determining the salary for that applicant. In California, salary history is not a justification for a disparity in compensation.
