The State of California requires covered employers to file annual payroll reports for their employees. The filing platform, managed by The California Civil Rights Department (CRD), will open in early February 2025 and filings using 2024 data are due by May 14, 2025.
California law mandates that private employers with one hundred or more employees, including those hired through labor contractors, annually submit a pay data report to CRD detailing employee pay and workforce data broken down by race, ethnicity, and gender for each job category. Additional data is noted for the number of remote employees located within California and the number of remote employees located outside California.
The CRD will publish updated reporting guidance and templates in the coming weeks
