Currently, California requires large private employers that are subject to EEO-1 reporting obligations under federal law to also submit annual pay data reports to the California Civil Rights Division (CRD). Covered employers were permitted to satisfy pay-data reporting requirements by submitting a federal EEO-1 report, which included data on pay by establishment, job category, sex, race, and ethnicity.
A new law, Senate Bill 1162, revised California Government Code § 12999 to expand the number of data categories employers are obligated to report. As a result of this expanded requirement, employers with 100+ employees (only one of which needs to be employed in California) will no longer be able to submit EEO-1 reports in lieu of a pay data report to the CRD.
