CA SB1284

Requires private employers with 100 or more employees who file federal Employer Information Reports (EEO-1) to submit annual pay data reports to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing by September 30, 2019, and each year thereafter.

Pay data reports must include employee counts by race, ethnicity, and sex across 10 job categories, and employee counts by race, ethnicity, and sex within pay bands used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, based on W-2 earnings.

Prohibits department officers and employees from publicly disclosing individually identifiable information from reports except as necessary for investigation or enforcement proceedings under equal pay or discrimination laws.

Classifies all information disclosed pursuant to this section as confidential and not subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act, though aggregate reports that prevent association with specific businesses or individuals may be publicized.

Requires the Department of Fair Employment and Housing to maintain pay data reports for a minimum of 10 years and may seek compliance orders against employers who fail to submit required reports.
