California’s New Pay Transparency Law: What Staffing Firms Need to Do NOW

Overview

Highlights

In September, California’s governor signed SB 1162 into law. It expands the scope of California’s existing pay transparency laws, imposes new requirements for including pay information in job postings, and extends pay data reporting requirements to many staffing companies. Employers subject to the law must be prepared to comply with some of its reporting requirements starting Jan. 1, 2023, but the snapshot period is between October and December of this year, which means compliance steps and preparation should begin now.

In this webinar, attorney Annette Tyman of law firm Seyfarth Shaw will explain the law, the upcoming requirements, and ways that staffing firms should prepare.

During this webinar, attendees will learn

• Whether the law’s requirements apply to their business and employees
• What the relevant timelines are and how to prepare
• Best practices regarding compliance and communications with clients
