File on Time!

The filing portal opened on February 3, 2025 – Don’t wait until it’s too late!

The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) is enforcing strict pay data reporting requirements under Senate Bill 973 (SB 973). If your company has 100 or more employees—including at least one in California—you are legally required to submit a California Pay Data Report by May 14, 2025.

Missing the deadline could result in significant fines and legal action, with penalties ranging from $100 to $200 per employee for non-compliance. In one recent case, Cambrian Homecare, Inc. faced a nearly $100,000 fine for failure to file.

What is California Pay Data
Reporting & Why it Matters?

California’s Pay Data Reporting Law (SB 973) was enacted to combat pay discrimination and ensure transparency in workforce compensation. The law requires employers to submit pay and hours-worked data categorized by:

Establishment

Job Category

Sex, Race, and Ethnicity

This report allows the state to investigate pay disparities and enforce wage equity across industries. Failure to comply may result in audits, investigations, and costly penalties.

The Risks of Non-Compliance Are Real

CRD Enforcement is Increasing – More than 30 employers have already faced penalties for non-compliance.

Legal & Financial Consequences – Fines can add up quickly, damaging your bottom line.

Reputational Damage – Non-compliance can tarnish your company’s brand and trustworthiness.

Potential Lawsuits – Employees may take legal action if pay disparities are uncovered.

Don’t wait until the last minute – The deadline is fast approaching!
