    Key Takeaways

    • Requires private employers to disclose in job postings whether an advertised position is actually vacant.
    • Mandates that vacancy disclosure statements must be clear, conspicuous, and written in legible font.
    • Expands existing job posting transparency requirements enforced by the Labor Commissioner.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Berman's job posting transparency measure would require private employers in California to explicitly state whether advertised positions represent actual vacancies. The legislation adds new requirements to existing job posting regulations, mandating that employers include clear and conspicuous statements about vacancy status in all public job advertisements.

    The measure builds upon California's current job posting disclosure framework by requiring private sector employers to specify if advertised positions represent genuine openings. Under the proposed requirements, employers must present this information in a clear, conspicuous format using legible font. The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement would oversee implementation and compliance through its existing regulatory authority.
