CA AB2095

Establishes a "High-Road Employer" certification program administered by the Labor and Workforce Development Agency requiring private employers with 1,000+ California employees to annually submit worker-related statistics including pay, hours, scheduling, benefits, safety, turnover, and equity data.

Requires the agency to develop scoring criteria and methodology by June 30, 2024 to rank employers as high-road employers eligible for state benefits such as procurement contracts, tax benefits, and workforce development funding.

Mandates the agency publish all submitted worker statistics on its website by June 30, 2024 and annually thereafter, organized by industry or subindustry, except for equity data.

Requires employer chief executives to certify submitted information under penalty of perjury and authorizes the Employment Development Department to provide the agency with names and tax information of qualifying employers.

Exempts the state from reimbursing local agencies and school districts for costs as the bill only creates new crimes related to perjury in employer reporting.
