What Are California’s Pay Data Reporting Requirements, and Who Must Comply?

California requires certain employers to submit annual pay data reports to the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). These reports are a primary enforcement tool in California’s effort to identify and address systemic pay disparities.

Businesses with 100 or more employees nationwide, with at least one employee working in California, must file annual pay data reports with the CRD detailing wage information by race, ethnicity, and gender for each job category.
