Bill > AB480

This bill requires employers and third parties posting job listings to include the salary range (defined as the minimum and maximum salary or hourly pay based on the employer's good faith estimate) and any additional benefits like health insurance and retirement benefits. Employers must retain records of job postings, including wage and benefit information, for at least two years after the position is filled. The bill establishes a graduated penalty system for violations: first violations result in a written warning, while subsequent violations incur financial penalties that vary based on company size. For employers with fewer than 50 employees, the penalties are $300 for a second violation and $600 for a third or subsequent violation. For employers with 50 or more employees, the penalties increase to $1,000 for a second violation and $2,000 for a third or subsequent violation. Third parties posting job listings are subject to the same penalties as employers, and each individual failure to comply is considered a separate violation. The bill also grants the department authority to create rules for implementing these requirements, aiming to increase transparency in job postings and provide more information to potential job seekers about compensation and benefits.
