CWC Issues Filing Guide For 2023 California Pay Reporting

March 14, 2023

 

What's New

CWC has updated its California Pay Data Reporting Guide to assist members in filing during the upcoming 2023 reporting cycle. Reports are due May 10, 2023, for the 2023 reporting cycle, which involves pay information from calendar year 2022.

Our guide reflects 2022 amendments to the reporting requirements and contains a CWC-prepared communication template that members can use when contacting their vendors to comply with the new labor contractor reporting requirements.

What It Means

A California law requires private employers with at least 100 employees nationwide and at least one employee in California to annually report pay and work hours data by race, ethnicity, sex, and EEO-1 job category for employees working in California and employees working outside California who are assigned to a California location.

These requirements affect many CWC members, so we prepared tips on identifying the data that must be reported and the steps that a company should follow when pulling the data.

The guide includes information on:

  • The data that must be reported
  • Pulling the data required for the Employee Pay Data Report
  • Completing the Pay Data Reporting Template
  • Pulling the data required for the Labor Contractor Employee Pay Data Report
  • Penalties for failing to file

What You Should Do

CWC members can review the Guide here. Please let us know about practical or technical compliance issues so we can encourage the state enforcement agency to provide compliance assistance. Please send feedback to [email protected].
