   Companies hiring in California certainly aren't scrambling to update their job listings to include salary ranges. #SB1162

     Have you seen improvement in compliance with California's pay transparency law, #SB1162 (employers of 15+ disclosing pay ranges in job listings & 100+ reporting pay rates to the state)?

     Though most big companies seem pretty good, I still see some non-compliance. (The state appears to take complaints at https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/ .)

     "A new California law that requires many businesses to add pay ranges to job descriptions has raised a lot of questions among both employers and employees.

     The law has had an immediate impact: In early December, 41% of daily active job listings on Glassdoor in California had pay ranges provided by the employer, according to analysis from the company’s lead economist. By the end of December, it was up to 54%. By Jan. 8, when the law had been in effect for just over a week, it had climbed to 61%.

     @johnlogic I'm not actively measuring it. I just noticed a *lot* of companies didn't include the information.

     @kingrat thanks; I was just curious if you'd noticed any changes.

     In my own job search, I finally found a prospective employer that ignores the pay transparency law badly enough to justify reporting it to the State of California. Apparently my options are to send email that they won't see for 3-5 days and/or submit a complaint and schedule an "intake interview", and the next available time slots are nearly 3 months out.

     It sure looks like "Justice delayed is justice denied."

     @johnlogic Yeah, I would not expect anyone to work on an individual's behalf for this. I expect the state to make examples of a few employers a year, focusing on larger, recalcitrant companies that get lots of complaints.
