Job postings.
- Requires employers to disclose in job postings whether advertised positions are actual vacancies.
- Authorizes the Labor Commissioner to investigate violations and impose penalties up to $10,000 per violation.
- Grants first-time violators penalty exemption if they promptly update all job postings to include vacancy status.
Assembly Member Berman's job posting transparency measure would require California private employers to disclose whether advertised positions represent actual vacancies, establishing new oversight through the state's Labor Commissioner.
The legislation creates a framework for enforcing accurate job posting practices by mandating clear, conspicuous statements about vacancy status in all public job advertisements. Violations would constitute unfair competition under state law, with the Labor Commissioner authorized to investigate complaints filed within one year of discovery. Employers face civil penalties ranging from $100 to $10,000 per violation, though first-time violators can avoid penalties by promptly updating non-compliant postings.
All penalties collected would be deposited into the Labor Enforcement and Compliance Fund to support the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement's administration and enforcement activities, subject to legislative appropriation. The measure builds upon existing salary disclosure requirements while adding new transparency obligations for California employers who publicly advertise positions.
