The California Department of Industrial Relations has issued new FAQs to clarify its interpretation of California’s new pay transparency requirements.
Among other updates, the new FAQs provide additional guidance on:
- Coverage. Employers with at least 15 employees – and at least one employee in California – must include the pay scale on job postings beginning January 1, 2023.
- Counting of employees. When evaluating if an employer has at least 15 employees, the employer would count any individual performing any kind of compensable work for the employer who is not a bona fide independent contractor as an employee, including salaried executives, part-time workers, minors, and new hires.
