New Employment Laws To Reduce The Gender Wage Gap

New Employment Laws to Reduce the Gender Wage Gap
2
First of all, the new laws are set to affect
several millions of California women seeking new
employment opportunities, as Gov. Brown signed
the so-called salary privacy bill, which will
once and for all prohibit California employers
from inquiring into or relying on the salary
history of an applicant to reject his/her
employment.

Also, it will be illegal to decrease compensation
for the position just because the employee used
to make less money on a similar position in the
past (meaning it will no longer be legal to pay
the new employee less than the company initially
budgeted for his/her position).

• The new law will also require employers to
  disclose a salary range for a particular position
  to an employee upon request. Statistics show that
  women working full time in California and all
  across the U.S. are typically paid 80 of what
  men are paid.The new law is supposed to reduce
  the gender wage gap and make the employment
  process fairer to those who used to make less
  money in the past, but want to earn more.

protections will affect California women starting

New employment laws to allow employees take
baby-bonding leave

• Under current California employment laws, both
  male and female employees in Los Angeles are
  allowed to take the so-called baby-bonding
  leave for the birth or adoption of a child but
  only if the employee is working at a company with
  at least 50 employees.The new employment laws
  reduced that number to at least 20 employees, a
  sweeping change that is estimated to make the
  lives of nearly 3 million California workers
  easier when giving birth or adopting a child.

• However, it would be naive to believe that all
  employers will comply with the new employment
  laws right away or that they wont attempt to get
  round the laws that may eliminate some of their
  most profitable practices to pay less to
  employees. Some employers may also attempt to
  override the new employment laws in Los Angeles
  by introducing their own policies. But this could
  be an illegal endeavor that could get them
  employers in legal trouble.
