Understanding Labor Code Section 432.3
Effective January 1, 2023, Labor Code Section 432.3 imposes new recordkeeping requirements on all employers, regardless of size. Employers must maintain records of job title and wage rate history for each employee for the duration of the employee’s employment plus three years after the end of employment.
Understanding Government Code Section 12999
Government Code Section 12999 has been amended to expand the pay data reporting obligations of private employers with 100 or more employees. These employers are now required to submit a pay data report to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) that includes the number of employees by race, ethnicity, and sex in various job categories.
